Lyrics Blue Highways - Graham Parker

Blue Highways

D bm d bm The kid’s left home, the kid’s got a kid of her own
D bm d bm Don’t knock that door, don’t knock it, nobody’s home
Em bm em bm The mystery sign, turn off and follow it blind
Em d g d The interstate is jammed and crammed with exhaust mist
Em d g It only leads to somewhere you’ll never miss
You’ll never miss
D bm d bm Get on the blue highways, follow the blue highways
Em bm em bm You know that they’re there, you know that they’re there
F#m g a d bm d bm Where the real america lies
D bm d bm The rusty chrome, the shutters swing open and closed
D bm d bm Don’t knock that door, don’t knock it, nobody’s home
Em bm em bm The blood runs cold, the blood runs cold
Em d There must be gold where fools are
G a That’s what we are, that’s what we are
D bm d bm Get on the blue highways, follow the blue highways
Em bm em bm You know that they’re there, you know that they’re there
F#m g a bm
Where the real america lies
Em bm em bm em d bm d bm Blue highways, blue highways, blue highways
