Don't know why they even bother
Puttin' this highway on the map
Anybody that's ever been on it
Knows exactly where they're at
Hell's on both ends of it
Nowhere's inbetween
And this highway's mean

Seems like it's always hot down here
No matter when you come
It's the kind of heat that holds you
Like a momma holds her son
Tight when it tries to walk
Even tighter when he runs
It's a mean old dusty
But it's the only one that'll get me there
That'll get me there

Mean ol' highway stuck to the ground
Mississippi it's the one who set me free
But it's the same one that I see
Bein' ripped up off the ground
And wrapped around me
Don't let it fool you
This highway's mean

Well I don't need a map
To tell me where I am today
This feelin that I have
Has always led the way
Down here you're runnin
From a broken heart
Or a heart you gotta break
On this mean ol' highway

Mean ol' highway stuck to the ground
Mississppi it's the one that set me free
It's the same one that I see
Bein ripped up off the ground
And wrapped around me
Don't let it fool you
This highway's mean
This highway's mean
Highway
Come and fly away with me
