From the recording Glenn Highway Blues
Lyrics
Well now, that old Glenn Highway is the loneliest road I know
Well now, that old Glenn Highway is the loneliest road I know
I got my hands in my pocket and I’m standing here watching my girl go
Well, she’s been cold and hard just like Kachemak Bay in the rain
And in her eyes I can see, that girl just gonna make a change
And now I’m standing here watching her take off on down the ?plane?
Well, I could stand here for days and wait for her to turn around
Well, I could stand here for days and wait for that girl to turn around
She’s on that old Glenn Highway, must be Fairbanks bound
If I could put my thumb out, try to flag myself a ride
I could put my thumb out, try to find a ride
But I just can’t stand to leave my children crying
Robert Johnson met the devil, Lord, he traded his soul for pain
I don’t need to meet the devil, ‘cos I already know her name
And she left me and my children, standing here calling out her name
One day I’ll get myself together, Lord, get myself on outta here
One day I’ll get myself together, yeah, oh Lord and get on outta here
Oh, down that old Glenn Highway, don’t you know I’m gonna disappear
Well now, that old Glenn Highway is the loneliest, loneliest road I know
Well now, that old Glenn Highway is the loneliest, loneliest road I know
Got my hands in my pocket I’m standing here watching my girl go
