I'm a highway man
Travel that highway all the way down
I'm a highway man
Travel that highway all the way down
I travel that road
'Till my baby couldn't be found

Now, yon' come that greyhound
Wit' his tongue stickin' out on the side
Yes, Good God a-Mighty, now
Yon' come that greyhound
Wit' his tongue stickin' out on the side
If you buy yo' ticket, swear 'fore God
That man will let you ride

My babe have a one five dollars
Spent on me a Luxury Fo'
My babe have one five dollars
Spent on me on a V8 Fo'
So I can meet that Greyhound bus
Comin' down that highway road
Yeah

Anytime you get funny, now
An you don't wanna have no fun
Anytime yo' woman get's funny, now
Witchin' on me
She don't want you to have a bit-a fun
Get in little Tommy, little boat
Steal on that Highway, One

'Yeah, play 'em now'

(guitar)

Yeah

I got a little cabin
On Highway One
I got a little cabin
It's on that highway road
Anytime you get you a woman
That's all the fer you can go.
