| I’m here in Philadelphia
|
| She got caught down in DC
|
| It’s a wretched night, it’s raining
|
| But she’s coming up to meet me
|
| There’s nothing I can do
|
| By the time she gets halfway
|
| She’ll be tired of 95
|
| The spray off those trucks sucks
|
| I hope she gets through alive
|
| Our Lady of the Highways
|
| Keep my baby straight tonight
|
| Guide her safely down the road
|
| Keep her always in the light
|
| Let the sad moon looking down on me
|
| Shine bright as she comes here
|
| 'Til Our Lady of the Highways
|
| May appear
|
| Sometimes the weather’s worst
|
| When you have some place to be
|
| Like the time we drove to Boston
|
| In the snow from New York City
|
| Frozen to the bone
|
| And we saw the planes fly high above
|
| On metal wings and prayers
|
| And tried to find some radio
|
| Hoping one day we would be there
|
| Our Lady of the Highways
|
| Keep my baby straight tonight
|
| Guide her safely down the road
|
| Keep her always in the light
|
| Let the sad moon looking down on me
|
| Shine bright as she comes here
|
| 'Til Our Lady of the Highways
|
| May appear
|
| And I guess she always gets here
|
| Heaven knows just how she does
|
| And that statue of our Lady
|
| Is crying tears of love
|
| Now I’m in San Francisco
|
| A town too hard for love
|
| She’s driving from Seattle
|
| 800 miles above me
|
| Why are we apart?
|
| So please don’t let the fog roll
|
| Heavy on that Highway 5
|
| I want her here so soon
|
| But I want her here alive
|
| Our Lady of the Highways
|
| Keep my baby straight tonight
|
| Guide her safely down the road
|
| Keep her always in the light
|
| Let the sad moon looking down on me
|
| Shine bright as she comes here
|
| 'Til Our Lady of the Highways
|
| May appear |
