Del Reeves - Highway 40 Lyrics

I'm headin' east on Highway 40 just pulled out of Memphis Tennessee
I'd head west for California but Music city's home sweet home to me
I left New Orleans a loaded a plenty just stopped off in Memphis to unload
I'll be in Nashville by 9:20 if I can hold this big rig on the road

Slowest highway in the nation seems I'm just crawlin' along
Guess it must be my imagination just because that I'm on my way home
[ guitar ] Cotton fields a flyin' right on by me rollin' hills lie just ahead of me
And if all this fallin' rain don't blind me I'll spend the night in Nashville Tennessee
Just cross the Tennessee River I got a gal that's waitin' up for me
And the love only I can give her waitin' up in Nashville Tennesse

Slowest highway in the nation...
just because that I'm on my way home
