HIGHWAY CALL VERSE Don’t try to tie me down, don’t hang my picture on the wall I see that look in your eye, and you don’t have far to fall And even this big Montana sky will feel too small when I hear that highway callVERSE I’ll just start lookin’ around the bend, it happens time and time again Keep it friendly let’s be friends, don’t try to rope me in And I’ll hang my hat on your wall, till I hear that highway callCHORUS Oh I think about the time that I’ve wasted, Lettin’ this old restless heart get in the way But everytime the smoke cleared, time dried up those tears And I saddled up and rode away…rode away…. ay ay INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
CHORUS Now I think about the times that I’ve wasted, Lettin’ this old restless heart get in the way But every time the smoke cleared, time dried up those tears And I saddled up and rode away…rode away….
VERSE So don’t try to tie me down, don’t hang my picture on the wall I see that look in your eye, and you don’t have far to fall Even this big Montana sky will feel too small, yah this big Montana sky’s gonna feel too small, when I hear that highway call, highway call.

TOO MANY HONKY TONKS VERSE I know she didn’t mean to hurt me She tried so hard to make it right I guess I lost out to the whisky But I wonder where my baby is tonight
CHORUS ‘Cause when her tears start fallin’ Her goodtime friends come callin’ And they won’t keep her feet
On solid ground From lonely street to misery Uptown on down There’re just too many honky tonks around
INSTRUMENTAL
VERSE The neon lights are shinin’ Right thru the warm glow of this wine And my ole heart is pinin’ And I wonder where she’ll be
At closing time.
CHORUS ‘Cause when her tears start fallin’ Her goodtime friends come callin’ And they won’t keep her feet
On solid ground From lonely street to misery Uptown on down There’re just too many honky tonks around

DRIVIN’ HOME VERSE There’s a four-lane highway, stretched up ahead People rollin’ 90 miles an hour, and going nowhere So when you need to slow down, I just turn that car around And take the back roads thru the country when I’m drivin’ home
VERSE Sweet country music, on the radio Playin’ all those old songs we used to know Ohh, They take me back, to a place not long ago When we took the back roads thru the country When we’re drivin’ home
INSTRUMENTAL break
VERSE Rollin’ hills, deep blue skies, farmer Brown will tip his hat when you drive by Oh, we’re movin’ so fast, leave your troubles in the past and Take the back roads thru the country when you’re drivin’ home
VERSE There’s a four-lane highway, stretched up ahead People rollin’ 90 miles an hour and gettin’ nowhere So when you need to slow down, just turn this car around And take the back roads thru the country
Take the back roads thru the country Take the back roads thru the country when I’m drivin’ home Drivin’ home

SOUTH CAROLINA WALTZ VERSEIt was early spring Cherry blossoms were bloomin’ And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky
Sally Ann took the hand
Of Sir William Lewis And fell in love as they danced to The South Carolina Waltz
VERSE He was a sailor Who came from South Hampton From a ship building family, though we never pried Sally Ann had her man, Sir William Lewis And they danced and they swayed to the South Carolina Waltz
CHORUS We always knew
That it was forever Like the dawn of the rest of their lives From that night on, they were always together Side By Side
VERSE It was late in the fall When winter came callin’ And the sun sinkin’ low in the palmetto sky Sally Ann took the hand of sir William Lewis And they sailed off together for a late sunset ride But the autumn winds can be unforgiving And from out of nowhere their boat capsized And Sally Ann grabbed the hand of Sir William Lewis And we found them together on the shore where they died
Short Instrumental break
Now it’s early spring Cherry blossoms are bloomin’ And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky
