Highway 70 Blues Lyrics by The Bottle Rockets

Bit Logic

[Verse 1]
Kansas City's gonna have to wait
Looks like I’ll be late
Wanna get goin'
But things ain't flowin’
Down this Interstate
[Verse 2]
Got a farmer with a trailer full of hay
And he won't get outta the way
Behind him I'm stuck
Beside this truck
That's trapped behind a Chevrolet
[Chorus]
I got the Highway 70 blues
I got the brake pedal gas pedal under my shoes
Herkin' and jerkin'
This feels like workin'
Will I ever get to use my cruise?
[Verse 3]
Here come a cop doin' seventy-three
Tryin’ to work his way ’round me
He ain't never gonna win
Without crashin’ in-
To that Nissan SUV
[Verse 4]
Every big rig bus and Kia
Everybody's got their own idea
Of what's fast or slow
So you never know
What lane's gonna stop, what lane’s gonna go
[Chorus]
I got the Highway 70 blues
I got the brake pedal gas pedal under my shoes
Herkin' and jerkin'
This feels like workin'
Will I ever get to use my cruise?
[Bridge]
Got twenty up ahead, twenty behind
Doin' forty different speeds at the same damn time
[Verse 5]
I've driven all across this land
And I've come to understand
That if you're in a hurry
To cross Missouri
Things might not go as planned
[Chorus]
I got the Highway 70 blues
I got the brake pedal gas pedal under my shoes
Herkin' and jerkin'
This feels like workin'
Will I ever get to use my cruise?
Said, Will I ever get to use my cruise?
Hey, Will I ever get to use my cruise?
