Gordon Lightfoot - Hi'way Songs Lyrics
When I walk the hill so highAround the town where I was bornNew york seems so far awayThough I was there just yesterdayI have played on my guitarIn coffeehouses, hall, and barsEveryone that I call friendKnows they will not be forgotTrains and planes and rented carsSingers, saints, and other startsI suspect them every oneTheyll never changeIts too much funJust for now Id like to restIn the shade of a maple treeTo the blue canadian skyIll say a prayer for the world out thereWhen I stand on my own sodIt feels so good to be home, by godThe winter wind has turned my headBut I always came up warm somehowBottles, beads, and cigarettesAnd lovers that I aint found yetPickin with a friend till dawnAnd singing all of those hiway songsJust for now Id like to restIn the shade of a maple treeTo the blue canadian skyIll say a prayer for the world out thereWhen I walk the hill so highAround the town where I was bornNew york seems so far awayThough I was there just yesterdayI would travel all my lifeIf loneliness was not the priceWhile headin north across that linesThe only time Im flyin
