Highway 72 Lyrics By Jolie Holland
Find a sign makin’ dollars and dimes
In the golden smog of the afternoon
Tryin’ to remember some old hobo song
And I won’t know where I’m headed
Till I’m further along
One foot in front of the other on the lost highway
One foot in front of the other on the lost highway
I can’t make out the way Oh oh
I can’t make out the way Oh oh
Follow my bleedin’ heels down the dusty road
Where the L.A. river is six inches wide
Trade on that TV for the full moon glowin’
Watchin’ the stars roll every night
One foot in front of the other on the lost highway
One foot in front of the other on the lost highway
I can’t make out the way Oh oh
I can’t make out the way Oh oh
Great horned owls a-slippin’ by the overpass
Come and feel like every year might be my last
Look to my companions they’ve got nothin’ to say
Kickin’ my footsteps down the lost highway
One foot in front of the other on the lost highway
One foot in front of the other on the lost highway
I can’t make out the way Oh oh
I can’t make out the way Oh oh
