Highway 70 Blues

Kansas City's gonna have to wait
Looks like I'll be late
Wanna get goin'
But things ain't flowin'
Down this Interstate
Got a farmer with a trailer fulla hay
And he won't get outta the way
Behind him I'm stuck
Beside this truck
That's trapped behind a Chevrolet

Got the highway 70 blues
Got the brake pedal gas pedal under my shoes
Herkin' and a'jerkin'
This feels like workin'
Will I ever get to use my cruise?
Here come a cop doin' 73
Tryin' to work his way 'round me
He ain't never gonna win
Without crashin' in
To that Nissan SUV

Every big rig bus and Kia
Everybody's got their own idea
Of what's fast and slow
So you never know
Which lane's gonna stop which lane's gonna go
Got the highway 70 blues
Got the brake pedal gas pedal under my shoes
Herkin' and a'jerkin'
This feels like workin'
Will I ever get to use my cruise?

Got 20 up ahead 20 behind
Doin 40 different speeds at the same damn time
I've driven all across this land
I've come to understand
That if you're in a hurry
To cross Missouri
Things might not go as planned
Got the highway 70 blues
Got the brake pedal gas pedal under my shoes
Herkin' and a'jerkin'

This feels like workin'
Will I ever get to use my cruise?
