PLACE OFF THE HIGHWAY words/music: bill mallonee
admin BMI 2019
I know this place off the highway, just off the beaten path
where the drinks are poured w/ a strong right arm, a place where we can laugh
and stare down the sadness, that's the face of the age
I know a place off the highway...where we can be saved

I know this place off the highway past that old abandoned house
those poor folks worked like the devil
till the banker-man forced 'em out
But, that's another story, we don't have to tend those graves
I know this place off the highway...where we can be saved

I know place off the highway where we can seal the deal
ain't nothing wrong with dreaming when the waking world's un-real
Baby, give me your hand, but please keep your soul
It's a tight-rope act they say
I know this place off the highway...where we can be saved

I know this place off the highway, I think we'd better start
Stay close baby, and i'll keep you warm, on these back roads of the heart
'Cause my high-beams have never shined so bright, ever since you smiled my way
I know this place off the highway...where we can be saved
