Well Iâ‚¬â„¢m leavinâ‚¬â„¢ this morninâ‚¬â„¢ baby
Gonna ride that new highway
Yeah Iâ‚¬â„¢m leavinâ‚¬â„¢ this morninâ‚¬â„¢ baby
Gonna ride that new highway
And the more you cry the more you gonna drive me away.

I ainâ‚¬â„¢t got no family
Ainâ‚¬â„¢t got no wife or no child
I ainâ‚¬â„¢t got no family
Ainâ‚¬â„¢t got no wife, no child
Ainâ‚¬â„¢t got no religion, Iâ‚¬â„¢m just out here runninâ‚¬â„¢ wild.

Well a rich manâ‚¬â„¢s got money
And a poor manâ‚¬â„¢s only got his soul
Yeah rich manâ‚¬â„¢s got the money baby
Poor boy only got his soul
But I got this new highway and I donâ‚¬â„¢t care where I go.

Well this new highway baby
Takes me from town to town
Yeah this new highway baby
Takes me from town to town
Where some sweet angel always lets me lay down.

Well my Kansas womanâ‚¬â„¢s got
Skin as white as snow
Yeah my Kansas City babyâ‚¬â„¢s got
Skin as white as snow
But my Deep Ellum womanâ‚¬â„¢s got hair as black as coal.

Well your lovers will leave you baby
Good friends will come and go
Yeah your lovers will leave you baby
Good friends come and go
But this new highwayâ‚¬â„¢s the best friend Iâ‚¬â„¢ve ever known.

Now the gold sunâ‚¬â„¢s settinâ‚¬â„¢ baby
Silver moon on the rise
Yeah the gold sunâ‚¬â„¢s settinâ‚¬â„¢ baby
Silver moon on the rise
Gonna ride this highway â‚¬Ëœtil the day I die.
