Stretch Of Highway

[Verse 1] I was born singing yes I am Grew up some kind of travelin’ man Sunday morning, pack my things Say so long sweet potato I’m on the road again [Chorus] Oh it’s a lovely stretch of the highway Leading me on And my favorite thing is to miss my home When I’m gone, soon as I’m gone [Verse 2] Chi-Town baby, that’s my town too People pick it right on up, do the looma lamaloo Just for example, look at ye yonder Chicago’s got the finest high-test first-class Poontang anywhere [Chorus] Oh it’s a lovely stretch of the highway Leading me on And my favorite thing is to miss my home When I’m gone, soon as I’m gone [Verse 3] I want to thank the man that planed the land I want to thank the man that towed the load In the burning sun and the freezing cold I want to thank the man that made this road Eisenhower Mr. Dwight D General Motors Big Ol’ GMC They saw the future Yes, indeed Eternal combustion That’s what the country’s gonna need [Chorus] Oh it’s a lovely stretch of the highway Leading me on And my favorite thing is to miss my home When I’m gone, soon as I’m gone Tomorrow Same as today One more time Mama that’s ok Shake your head “yes” Shake your head “no” Keep it straight and level And steady as she goes
