Lyrics

Running through the nighttime

And looking like a wreck

Got too many highlights and a love bite on her neck

Looking for some pay daddies who'll maybe come around

Everybody's wondering

What's that sound


Highway

(Do ya, do ya, do ya)

Always

(Do ya, do ya, do ya)


Standing in the doorway of a little black shop

Lifting up a pin light and ringing up a cop

Running down the street

Everybody sees

What she's got is what she needs

And what she loves is me


Highway

(Do ya, do ya, do ya)

Always

(Do ya, do ya, do ya)

Highway

(Do ya, do ya, do ya)

Always

(Do ya, do ya, do ya)

Highway

(Do ya, do ya, do ya)

(Do ya, do ya, do ya)

Highway

(Do ya, do ya, do ya)

Always

(Do ya, do ya, do ya)


[ Paul McCartney Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]

Oh looking in the flowers

Hang on me every hour

Take me high and let me think

Move me baby, move me away


Everybody wondering why you're looking such a wreck

Yeah


Highway

(Do ya, do ya, do ya)

Always

(Do ya, do ya, do ya)


Everybody wondering why she didn't love me more

They damn know what it self


Somebody can move me

Oh I'm feeling naked

Words are getting higher

Everybody fire

Lord the sun is rising again

Words are getting higher

Everybody fire

Lord the sun is rising again


Words are getting higher

Everybody fire

Lord the sun is rising again

Words are getting higher

Everybody fire

Lord the sun is rising again

Words are getting higher

Everybody fire

Lord the sun is rising again
