New Lee Highway Blues

Lyrics:

• All through Northern Oregon
• Always at my side
• Sleepin in those narrow beds
• And then we'd ride


• Drinkin in those dirty bars
• Keepin out of sight
• Sleepin in that cold back seat
• And then we'd ride


• You know that Goddamned road seemed like it went forever
• Exhaust fumes made our eyes turn red and swell
• With our clothes stuck to the seat and to our bodies
• It was a stinkin summer trip through southern hell


• Eating carbonated crap
• Churning up inside
• Gas soaked service station
• And then we'd ride


• Silence in the front seat
• Tryin not to start the fight
• Quiet half-hid cryin'
• Then we'd ride


• You know you can grow to hate these crummy little one horse towns
• With the seamy movie houses long closed down
• No where to go from here but up or down that road
• And nothin over there but the same damned town


• Another sour coffee cup
• One more piece of cardboard pie
• Buy a tooth brush and change of clothes
• Then we'd ride
