Lyrics

Take the Highway

There's a highway,
There's a byway
It's a long way to my heart
No freeway
No leeway
No short-cut, no headstart

So if you're gonna be with me
Stay with me for life
You hafta take the highway
Hafta be my wife
Hafta take the highway
Hafta be my wife

Call me old, old-fashioned
That's all I can be
Hey: the way I see things
This world needs more like me

So if you're gonna be with me
Stay with me for life
You hafta take the highway
Hafta be my wife
Hafta take the highway
Hafta be my wife

Generation, degeneration
Brings us strife and fear
That's the way I see things
Every day more clear

So if you're gonna be with me
Stay with me for life
You hafta take the highway
Hafta be my wife
Hafta take the highway
Hafta be my wife

Sometimes best way forward
Means we step right back
Far as we might need to
Gettin' back on track

So if you're gonna be with me
Stay with me for life
Yes if you're gonna be with me
Stay with me for life
Hey if you're gonna be with me
Stay with me for life

You hafta take the highway
Hafta be my wife

Take the long old highway
Want you for my wife
