Freeway, freeway, what secrets do you hold?
What mysteries do they pursue?
Well I used to follow too
But here I am walkin down this sweet country lane
and the shade of the trees and the cool of the breeze
make me sane again
Freeway, freeway, you used to lead me where I’d go
But now I’ve breathed the country air
And I want to be there
So here I am walkin down this sweet country lane
and the shade of the trees and the cool of the breeze
make me sane again
What is to be gained from the rush of the crowd?
Workin at nothing and talkin so loud
And God give me hope making my choice
between the freeway and the lane
Freeway, freeway, don’t you beckon with your luring charm
A city kid like me might heed
Though I bet you’d do me harm
But here I am walkin down this sweet country lane
and the shade of the trees and the cool of the breeze
make me sane again
What is to be gained from the rush of the crowd?
Workin at nothing and talkin so loud
And God give me hope making my choice
between the freeway and the lane (x2)
between the freeway and this sweet country lane
