My Heroes Have Always Been Highways Lyrics

(Tom T. Hall)

My heroes have always been highways
And that's why I'm gone all the time
Route 60 ran by my house as a kid
And Lord how I loved the white lines.

I know there's a warm place beside you
And the kids ask about me sometimes
But my heroes have always been highways
I got a lowdown highway in mind.

Well, I missed all the PTA meetin's
I guess I'm not a PTA man
I've got a black coffee outlook and I dream
With a wheel in my hand.

Though I wish there was a way I could changeTom T. Hall - My Heroes Have Always Been Highways - http://motolyrics.com/tom-t-hall/my-heroes-have-always-been-highways-lyrics.html
In anything that I do or I did
But my heroes have always been highways
And they have been since I was a kid.

--- Instrumental ---

And I love you the way that I love you
Not the way that another man would
I know that I live by a roadmap but all I wanna be great
And I wanna be good.

I guess I'm a quart low on something
That makes for a home loving kind
But my heroes have always been highways
I got a lowdown highway in mind.

My heroes have always been highways
I got a lowdown highway in mind...
