Highway 20 Blues

[Verse]
She starts in Boston where the harbor gleams
With Cobblestone pathways and Red Sox dreams
Through upstate New York and the Finger Lakes region
I’m heading West toward the Sun on the longest highway in the nation
[Chorus]
Oh, Highway 20, she calls my name
Through the wind...
Through the rain
And through sun filled days
From the east coast to the western shore
It’s a road... It’s my life
It’s my way home
Yes, Highway 20, she calls my name
[Verse 2]
The Maumee flows through Toledo like a river in flames
Filled with steel, blood and dreams
Of men only God can name
Where Mud Hens cheer, hot dogs and buckeyes reside
Highway 20 is the ticket to Ride
[Prechorus]
A diner’s neon sign
flickers low in South Dakota
Serving fried chicken, nlack eyed peas
and Mountain Dew soda
For the locals who call it home
highway 20 is the place to go
[Chorus]
Oh, Highway 20, she calls my name
Through the wind...
Through the rain
And sun filled days
From the eastern coast to the western shore
It’s a road... It’s my life
It’s so much more
Yes, Highway 20, she calls my name
[Bridge]
She passes through Mountains that rise and valleys that fall
Ghost towns that whisper secrets
I can hear it all
When Oregon’s waves finally crash at my feet
My journey ends
But my soul still dreams
[Chorus]
Oh, Highway 20, she calls my name
Through the wind...
Through the rain
And sun filled days
From the eastern coast to the western shore
It’s a road... It’s my life
It’s so much more
Yes, Highway 20, she calls my name
