Highway 49

(álbum: The Dirty Dozen - 2009)

I'm gonna get up in the morning,
Gonna hit that Highway 49
I'm gonna get up in the morning,
Gonna hit that Highway 49
I been looking for my Elvonnie(?),
That sweet woman's steady on my mind

First I'm gonna stop by whiskey store,
Pick me up a jug o'wine
First I'm gonna stop by the whiskey store,
Pick me up a six-pack o'wine
I been looking for my baby,
She's resting on my weary mind

Yeah, it'll be soon in the morning
When I go rolling into Jacksontown, downtown
It'll be soon in the morning
When I go rolling into Jackson, Mississippi town
I been looking for my baby,
The police said she can't be found

Don't tell me that
I'm gonna get up in the morning,
Gonna hit that Highway 49
I'm gonna get up in the morning,
Gonna hit that Highway 49
I'm gonna dust my blues, peoples,
Leave this raggedy-ass town behind
