the kettle s on the boil lord the night is almost gone the fire is a dying down and i m trying to write this song but time and time again you know my mind is called away by the highway screaming my name and i think i might have heard the highway callin me in the night yes i think i might have heard the highway callin me in the night so don t you cry sweet mary there s some things that a man has got to do no don t you cry sweet mary there ll always be some things that make you blue don t think that i don t love you the lord above knows that i do it s just the highway has hung on to me trapped me here like a fool and i think i might have heard the highway callin me in the night yes i think i might have heard the highway callin me in the night in the night in the night in the night in the night and i think i might have heard the highway callin me in the night
