[Verse 1]
I was born singing yes I am
Grew up some kind of travelinâ man
Sunday morning, pack my things
Say so long sweet potato
Iâm on the road again
[Chorus]
Oh itâs a lovely stretch of the highway
Leading me on
And my favorite thing is to miss my home
When Iâm gone, soon as Iâm gone
[Verse 2]
Chi-Town baby, thatâs my town too
People pick it right on up, do the looma lamaloo
Just for example, look at ye yonder
Chicagoâs got the finest high-test first-class
Poontang anywhere
[Chorus]
Oh itâs a lovely stretch of the highway
Leading me on
And my favorite thing is to miss my home
When Iâm gone, soon as Iâm gone
[Verse 3]
I want to thank the man that planed the land
I want to thank the man that towed the load
In the burning sun and the freezing cold
I want to thank the man that made this road
Eisenhower
Mr. Dwight D
General Motors
Big Olâ GMC
They saw the future
Yes, indeed
Eternal combustion
Thatâs what the countryâs gonna need
[Chorus]
Oh itâs a lovely stretch of the highway
Leading me on
And my favorite thing is to miss my home
When Iâm gone, soon as Iâm gone
Tomorrow
Same as today
One more time
Mama thatâs ok
Shake your head âyesâ
Shake your head ânoâ
Keep it straight and level
And steady as she goes
