Highway Man
by 
Jimmy Dawkins 
recording of 1985 
from 
Feel The Blues (JSP 282) 
They call me highway man, because you know I'm always on the go 
Yeah, they call me highway man, boys, I'm always on the go 
Well, you know my friends act a little funny these days, 
seems like I ain't welcome back in this town no more 
Highway man, oh, I just got to be on the run 
Highway man (spoken: that's what I am), you know I just got to always be on the run 
Well, I just got to 
... 
, someday I'll be able to lay down and rest down in 
... 
They say: "Somewhere over the rainbow, you just might find a little part to go" 
"Somewhere over the rainbow, son, you might be able to find a little part to go" 
I had the blues, it worries so, got to find somewhere to rest my soul 
Highway man, yes, you know that's just what I am 
Highway man, yeah, you know that's just what I am 
Well, I tried to be a nice little boy, yes, I treated everybody like a lamb 
Highway man, always on the go 
Highway man, yeah, always on the go 
Well, I tell all you friends: don't worry about me, I was born to be on the go 
Yeah, you know I'm always on the run
