Well, I was born down in San An-tone
And daddy leave us all alone
Big red rollin thunder on a Dallas bound highway home
Well mama got a job and she worked hard
She had two of us kids and a trashed out car
Yeah but me and my brother seemed to get along just fine
Yeah and you know the highway, just like a river keeps rollin on
You know it's my way, I was born to sing this song
Have no fear, I ain't goin no where
Everything gonna be just fine

Well, I turn on the TV on a Sunday afternoon
This preacher was screamin "Boy you're gonna meet your doom,
you go to all them honky tonks and drink that ice cold beer."
But I got me some friends and we're real tight
We stay up drinking and talking in the middle of the night
We talk about Jesus, man I'll tell you, he's one pretty cool dude

Yeah and you know the highway, just like a river keeps rollin on
You know it's my way, I was born to sing this song
Have no fear, I ain't goin no where
Everything gonna be just fine

Lately I've been toying with the notion
Of settin my wheels in motion
Just put me on the highway to see what I can see
Then you come in cryin, you were bitchin at me
You said, "Your baby or the highway; what's it gonna be?"
I said, "Well, maybe you don't get it. It's the nature of the
Business, I'm about to be movin on."

Yeah and you know the highway, just like a river keeps rollin on
You know it's my way, I was born to sing this song
Have no fear, drink another beer
Everything gonna be just fine

Yeah and you know the highway, just like a river keeps rollin on
You know it's my way, well I was born to sing this song
Have no fear, I ain't goin no where
Everything gonna be just fine
