Lyrics

People don't pick you up

On the blue highway

The blue highway

You travel alone

And people don't pick you up

On the blue highway

Yes, the blue highway

You travel alone

I left my home

West of San Francisco

I was tryin' to lose

These hometown blues

And if I don't find

No sunshine

Out in California

Well I just don't wanna

Live this life no more

Well, people don't pick you up

On the blue highway

Yeah, the blue highway

You travel alone

Well, people sure ain't gonna look you up

Along the blue highway

On the blue highway

You're always alone

Well, now there was a time

When I was so lonely

Another losin' night, a losin' fight

Around me

Well, I take no jibes

I meet no more snobs

On this highway

Yeah, all I got left

Is the sweet ole blues and me

Yeah the people don't pick you up

On the blue highway

Yeah, the blue highway

You travel alone

Yeah the people sure ain't gonna look you up

Along the blue highway

Yeah the blue highway

Is gonna be my home

Well, alright

Ooh ahh
