lirik lagu mickey newbury - in '59

i was born in a shotgun shack
that leaned against a railroad track
i could hear the whistle blow
all the way to del rio

i was turning seventeen
when i packed up my hopes and dreams
loaded my old beat up car
turned the key and burned the tar

i burned that highway down in ’59
yes i burned that two~lane highway down in 1959
i never did look back i did not see that railroad track
but i burned that highway down in ’59

winter came in sixty~five
i fought the cold to stay alive
and when i tried to light a fire
i was burned by my desire

there i was at twenty~four
faded dreams and nothin’ more
so i hit the road again
oh that road its back my friends

i burned that highway down in ’69
yes i burned that four~lane highway down in 1969
i never do look back
i don’t see that railroad track
burned that highway down in ’69

the seventies were kind to me
i was young and i was free
had it all and then some more
i could walk through running doors

then a star at eighty~three
caught me too far out to sea
i hit a reef and i ran aground
on the streets of guitar town

i burned that highway down in ’89
yes i burned that four~lane highway down in 1989
and i never did look back
i could not see those railroad tracks
burned that highway down in ’89

i can hear my momma pray
prayin’ for a better day
i can hear my daddy say
honey i will find a way

he worked his fingers to the bone
to make that shotgun shack a home
he kept his sadness deep inside
he had that dream the day he died

i burned that highway down in ’59
burned that dirt road highway down in 1959
i never will look back when i don’t see that railroad track
i burned that highway down in ’59

so now keep my soul to the hotel california
i get lost to the mason dixon line
i have run there with a lady east of eden
and i burned that highway down in ’89
yes i burned that highway down in ’89

i have run there with a lady east of eden
i burned that highway down in ’89
yes i burned that highway down in ’89
