well i was playing guitar when i was just a lad. that swinging rhythm took a hold on me
when we hit that groove lord i feel like i belong. brother music and myself are family
well i like living on this highway for many years it's been the way i've known
but no matter where i been, no matter where i roam, i'm a shootin star from texas
but the interstates my home.
well lefty and hank williams lord they sure could sing
and i wore the needle off my phonograph.
well i went looking for them. when i turned eighteen
and ever since i've worked to hone my craft
well what a life i've got, i've paid to play them clubs
meetin folks and seeing different towns
aint never gonna stop doin what i love
well i'll keep on till they lay me in the ground
well i like living on this highway for many years it's been the way i've known
but no matter where i been, no matter where i roam, i'm a shootin star from texas
but the interstates my home.
