BLUEBONNET HIGHWAY BUDDY JEWELL
© 9-9-05
THAT LAST CUP OF TRUCKSTOP COFFEE,
MY LAST TWO DOLLARS BOUGHT ME’S
FOGGIN’ UP MY REARVIEW MIRROR NOW,
THAT’S ALRIGHT CAUSE THERE AINT NOTHIN’
BUT THE PAST BEHIND ME ANY HOW

SOMEWHERE SOUTH OF SAN ANTONIO
I FELT YOUR MEMORY LET ME GO
THE SHACKLES ON MY HEART JUST SEEMED TO FADE
WHEN YOU SAID FREEDOM’S WHAT YOU NEEDED
GIRL, I NEVER DREAMED THAT I WOULD FEEL THIS WAY

CHORUS
SO IT’S GOODBYE, IT’S BEEN A GOOD RIDE,
I WISH YOU BLUE SKIES, AND GENTLE RAIN
FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE, I SEE A SUNRISE
BEYOND MY HEADLIGHTS, OUT IN THE LEAVIN’ LANE
LOOKS LIKE THINGS ARE FINALLY ROLLIN’ MY WAY
HEADIN’ DOWN THIS BLUEBONNET HIGHWAY

HILL COUNTRY BREEZE IS BLOWIN
BLUEBONNETS THAT ARE GROWIN’
THERE BESIDE THE PINYONS AND THE PINES
AS I PASS ANOTHER EIGHTEEN WHEELER
WHISTLIN’ WHILE IT’S DEISEL ENGINE WHINES

I’LL ADMIT THAT I’D BE LYIN IF I SAID I WASN’T TRYIN’
NOT TO THINK ABOUT YOU NOW AND THEN
BUT, THE FARTHER WEST I GO
THE MORE MY THOUGHTS OF YOU ARE SCATTERED BY THE WIND

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

REPEAT CHORUS
