Highway
Album - 1970 - Debaser id 38410

So we started in the cornfield
And I know we did not slack
We got everything in order
But we forgot to bring the bucket back
The foreman he went crazy
And ran around the field
Said we must be lazy
Had to be seen to be believed
Seen to be believed.

But it was a long way
From this highroad
It was a far away from here.

The farmer had a daughter
And she worked at the wishing well
Put one leg in the water
'til she found the mission bell
The old man went crazy
And ran to get his gun
We had a bad time explaining
We were just having drunken fun
Just having drunken fun.

But it was a long way
From this high road, Oh!
It was a long way from here
So we walked along this road
Just tellin' stories as we go
We just walk along.

Well the farmer had a daughter
And she did not speak a word
We used to kiss her in the orchard
Till one morning we were overheard
The old man he went crazy
Running around the field
Said we must be crazy
Had to be seen to be believed
Seen to be believed

I went down to the centre of town
And my feet was a burning ground
She stood on the corner merrily as can be
I said hey good lookin won't you come with me
She said yeah
I am the stealer
Came to steal your love

The sun was shining
The world was right
I said "tell me baby wha'cha doin' tonight"
I'm goin' round the corner
Where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city
Won't you come on round
I said yeah!
I'm the stealer
Come to steal your love

Steal your love oh yeah!

Goin' round the corner
Where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city
Won't you come on round
I said yeah
I am the stealer
Come to steal your love

Steal your love
Steal your love
Steal your love

I am going to steal you love away
I am going to steal you love away
Steal your love

Mmm...mmm...

All i need...
Is a friend
Someone to give me, a helpin' hand
When i'm afraid, in the night
Someone to squeeze me
And tell me, it's all right

You know i worry
huh
Such a lot
And i would give, all i've got
Just to have, someone believe in me
Just to do that, and put me back on evenly
Listen...

Baby, baby
Be my friend
Baby, baby
Be my friend
Baby, baby
Be my friend
I will love you, till the very end

Whoa, oh, ooh, ooh

You make me feel
A stronger love
Than anyone, i've ever known
Oh, i need, someone like you
You give me something, so strong and true

Oh, baby, baby
Be my friend
Baby, baby
Be my friend (yeah yeah)
Baby, baby
Be my friend
I will love you, till the very end

Won't ya, Won't ya baby, baby, baby, baby
Be my friend...
I will love ya, i will love ya, till the very end
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Baby, baby, baby, baby
I will love you
I need your lovin' baby

M-na m-na m-na m-na...(fades)

Baby won't you tell me
What you're tryin' to do
You don't mean to say
That our love is through
Because I love you
Yes I do
And I've go to see it through

I lives on the moutain
A hundred mile from town
That's a long way to go
Baby now
But soon I'm gonna be around
Because I love you
Yes I do
And I've got to see it through
Baby now

I'm gonna steal you baby away with me
I want to love you
Because you see
I am riding on a pony
In the middle of the night
I'm gonna be there in the morning
And I hope that it's all right

Sometimes when I am loney
I think about your face, baby
So I get on my pony
And I ride over your place
Because I love you
Yes I do
And I've go to see it through

I wanna take you, far away
I wanna love you, no matter what you say
Because I am riding on a pony
In the middle of the night
I'm gonna be there in the morning
And I hope that it's all right.

I am riding on a pony
In the middle of the night
I'm gonna be there in the morning
And I hope that it's all right.

I am riding on a pony
In the middle of the night
I'm gonna be there in the morning
And I hope that it's all right

Watch my hand
Writing this last letter
Watch my hand
Knowing I won't forget her
No I won't forget her

Take my things
Every thing is over
All my things
Leave behind my love
Leave behind my love
La la la
La la la
La la la

Now lighing a cigarette
Now knowing I will regret
The way our love had to end
In her room
Standing alone
All alone

Soon I will be gone
Soon I will
Soon I will
Soon I will be gone
Soon I will
Soon I will
Soon I will be gone
