This Highway's Mine Lyrics - Steve Earle

I'm running down this highway 

Don't remember where I slept last night 

I just remember halfway through the night 

I woke up stiff with fright 

I dreamed there was no asphalt 

I dreamed there was no gasoline 

Felt like a rat caught in some nowhere town 

I woke up and screamed 

This highway 

This highway 

This highway 

This highway 

This highway 

This highway's mine

I grew up on the dragstrip 

I used to shut em down 

I used to take their pinkslips 

There's a sucker born in every town 

I never showed no mercy 

I blew them all away 

They stood there and cursed me 

As I towed their lives away 

I used to run the cocaine 

I used to run the weed 

These days I'm just running 

Tryin' to make this highway bleed 

Sometimes the only difference 'tween me and this machine 

Is I run on desperation 

She runs on gasoline

The Asphalt Blaster 

Mess with me and I'll shut you down 

The bad thing 

The highway king and I've come to claim my kingdom now
