David Bromberg - The New Lee Highway lyrics

All through Northern Oregon

Always at my side

Sleepin in those narrow beds

And then we'd ride

Drinkin in those dirty bars

Keepin out of sight

Sleepin in that cold back seat

And then we'd ride

You know that Goddamned road seemed like it went forever

Exhaust fumes made our eyes turn red and swell

With our clothes stuck to the seat and to our bodies

It was a stinkin summer trip through southern hell

Eating carbonated crap

Churning up inside

Gas soaked service station johns

And then we'd ride

(fiddles chorus)

silence in the front seat

tryin not to start the fight

quiet half-hid cryin'

and then we'd ride

you know you can grow to hate these crummy little one horse towns

With the seamy movie houses long closed down

no where to go from here but up or down that road

and nothin over there but the same goddamned town

another sour coffee cup

one more piece of cardboard pie

buy a tooth brush and change of clothes

and then we'd ride
