Hi'way Songs (Lp Version) - Gordon Lightfoot
When I walk the hill so high
Around the town where I was born
New York seems so far away
Though I was there just yesterday
I have played on my guitar
In coffeehouses hall and bars
Everyone that I call friend
Knows they will not be forgot
Trains and planes and rented cars
Singers saints and other starts
I suspect them every one
They'll never change
It's too much fun
Just for now I'd like to rest
In the shade of a maple tree
To the blue canadian sky
I'll say a prayer for the world out there
When I stand on my own sod
It feels so good to be home by god
The winter wind has turned my head
But I always came up warm somehow
Bottles beads and cigarettes
And lovers that I aingt found yet
Picking with a friend till dawn
And singing all of those hi'way songs
Just for now I'd like to rest
In the shade of a maple tree
To the blue canadian sky
I'll say a prayer for the world out there
When I walk the hill so high
Around the town where I was born
New York seems so far away
Though I was there just yesterday
I would travel all my life
If loneliness was not the price
While heading north across that line's
The only time I'm flying
