And Your streets are gettin' empty
Yes, I been gamblin' so long
She packed it all up in a suitcase
With my suitcase in my hand
Well, the way I love that woman
Please don't take away my highway shoes
And we'll leave this ol' highway behind
Lord, I ain't got much more to lose
So, I'm walkin' down your highway
Well, Your streets are gettin' empty
I swear it's bound to get me killed
Well, the ocean took my baby
Lord, I ain't got much more to lose
She's in some far-of land
Lord Your highway's gettin' filled
Yes, I'm a-walkin' down your highway
Well, I been gamblin' so long
Just as far my eyes can see
Yes, I'm walkin' down the highway
Yes, I'm a-bound to get lucky, baby
Well, I'm bound to get lucky, baby
Just as far my poor eyes can see
Well, meet me in the middle of the ocean
From the Golden Gate Bridge
My baby took my heart from me
Yes, the ocean took my baby
Lord, I really miss my baby
Lord, she took it away to Italy, Italy
My baby stole my heart from me
Or I'm bound to die tryin'
Right now I'm havin' trouble
Lord, Lord I'm a-bound to die tryin'
And Your highway's gettin' filled
