Blue Highway Blues
Mark Elliott & Gary Culley 

I'm looking for that tree-lined road
Been there since the wagon wheels rolled
It's a rural route through the heart of a peaceful mind
It ain't goin' nowhere but it's leaving it all behind   

There's a farmhouse with an open door
supper on the table and room for more
A couple miles ahead is a ghost of a little town 
Where the only things left are a bar and an old jailhouse  

     Got the blue highway, blue highway blues
     Got the blue highway, blue highway blues  
     From my old six right down to my walking shoes       

I need flowers at my feet hawk over head
City life 
livin's gonna' leave me dead
Give me a family farm, river, or a mountain range 
'Cause the road to heaven is paved with a blue highway  

     Got the blue highway, blue highway blues
     Got the blue highway, blue highway blues  
     From my old six right down to my walking shoes

I can always tell when it's time to go 
Feel that fire in the pit of my soul
If you want me to stay then honey better let me leave
' Cause tomorrow's miles will never stop calling me  

     Got the blue highway blue, highway blues
     Got the blue highway blue, highway blues  
     From my old six right down to my walking shoes 

Repeat Chorus

“If you want me to stay then honey better let me leave, 'cause tomorrow's miles will never stop calling me.”

Song Story

Mark and Gary have made their living on the road, especially those small rural routes. The Blue Highways that wind their way through mountain towns, farm fields, rocky coastlines, and out of the way hamlets where good friends, free meals, warm beds, and the heart of America awaits.

"it's the music that makes us smile"
