Lightnin’ Hopkins
Highway Blues
I was travelin' fast one of these days
Talking about I was on my way
Down to the highway

That's when I knowed I'm gonna meet that lady
I'm gonna take my girl, have some fun
If my money don't spend I can shoot my gun
Going
Yes I'm going
Yes I'm going on that highway

Now lookit here, folks, here's a little story I'm gonna tell you, but I didn't know it right then, but I'm gonna say it because I found out later that it was all right. yes come on in there where we can get it good

You know there's a place you can put your money down
Take your girl upstairs and clown
I'm going
I'm gonna clown
I'm gonna clown with the people
God knows I'm gonna break 'em

I don't know why I didn't know thеre was places as that, but I didn't

She spokе out loud, "Don't make me mad."
Looked up this morning, had everything I had
I was mad with the world
I was mad with the world
Reason why I was mad
I didn't know what she done it for
