jim hurst - weary old highway lyrics

[verse 1]
you’d think after years of just giving it all
while playing your heart out and no curtain call
after large fame and fortune just passes on by
you’d think any rounder would kiss it goodbye
but a few days at home and i’m back in the grind
dead broke and ornery, half out of my mind
’til a call comes in from some old sl!ck i once knew
so i pack up my guitar and shine up my shoes

[verse 2]
it’s not for the money whеn it’s never quite there
or packing it up in the cold midnight air
it’s not for the glamour of living alone
in a thousand cheap hotels we get to call home
but it’s call time at sharkey’s on a sat+rday night
when the air is electric and the music is tight
it’s choosing a pathway that’s always been there
with a good+tuned guitar, i’ve made it, i swear

[chorus]
on a lonesome old highway and a weary old road
my two+lane companion shoulders the load
won’t you take me right back where i come from before
weary old highway
take me back, take me down home once more
on a lonesome old highway and a weary old road
my two+lane companion shoulders the load
won’t you take me right back where i come from before
weary old highway
take me back, take me down home once more

[outro]
weary old highway (highway)
weary old highway (highway)
weary old highway
