Highway 87 is a dangerous place to be When you pissed off all the local boys And your back's against the sea The cops all know your number The bars all know your name After six straight months of drinkin' boy You ain't never gonna be the same Well, I ain't seen the sunshine Since I can't remember when I may not know where I'm goin' But I sure know where I've been Well the sheriff he been watchin' every move that I make One of these days his gonna arrest me, for all the time I take The local girls all act Like I just ain't their kind Paintin' on their precious nails And wastin' their sweet minds Well, I'd give half of Texas if I could find a friend I may not know where I'm going But I sure know where I've been Well, the coast is disappearing There's a line up on the beach Doin' all them little things That Sunday School don't teach Jim Beam by the fire, cocaine in the stash Baseball bat on the floorboard Shotgun on the dash You may lose your mind And go walkin' 'round the bend You may not know where you're going But you'll sure know where you been Highway 87 is a dangerous place to be When you pissed off all the local boys And your back's against the sea The cops all know your number The bars all know your name After six straight months of drinkin', boy You ain't never gonna be the same Well, I ain't seen the sunshine Since I can't remember when I may not know where I'm going But I sure know where I've been

Highway boys on the road tonight Got a, gig out at the Ryman Finally learned the hard way That all good things take time, my friend Of a playin' lost soul To sing his songs true They make a southern boy cry Turn a northeast man confused And I awoke with a fever Sweatin' oceans again There's mirrors in hotel rooms But I do not recognize them Maybe it's the feelin' That I get in my sleep But all the memories in my mind Are only mine to keep I wanna ride that K-10 to way back when Sleep next to the river, hear it rushin' again Give my no-good soul back to where it belong And do my best to keep truth in songs And do my best to keep truth in songs And all of my old friends miss Havin' me around, but Highways work both ways And I can't stand the liars in town If you need me you can find me Slightly outta control 'Cause highway boys don't rest And don't hang hats till they're home Highway boys on the road tonight Got a, gig out at the Ryman They finally found out the hard way That this sound I got is my mine, man So if you need me, call If you're in love, fall Just know that highways boys Don't stick around at all I wanna ride that K-10 to way back when Sleep next to the river, hear it rushin' again Give my no-good soul back to where it belong And do my best to keep truth in songs And do my best to keep truth in songs Highway boys on the road tonight Got a gig out at the Ryman They finally found out the hard way That this sound I got is my mine, man
