She got stuck down in D .C.
It's a wretched night, it's raining
But she's coming up to meet me
By the time she gets halfway
Spray off those truck sucks
And I hope that she gets here alive
And our lady of the highways
Keep my baby straight tonight
Guide her safely down the road
And keep her always in the light
Till our lady of the highways
Sometimes the weather's worse
when you have some place to be
Like the time I drove to Boston
In the snow from New York City
And the airplanes flew high above
On the mellow wings of prayers
And we tried to find some radio
Hoping one day we'd get there
And a lady in the highways
Keep my babes straight tonight
Guide us safely down the road
And keep her always in the light
Let the sad moon looking down on me
Till Our Lady of the Highways may appear
Heaven knows just how she does
And that statue of Our Lady
Is a -crying tears of love
Now I'm in San Francisco,
it's a town too hard for love
She's driving from Seattle,
but I want her here alive
And oh lady of the highways,
keep my baby straight tonight
Guide her safely down the road
and keep her always in line
Let the sad moon looking down on me
Till our Lady of the Highways may appear
Till our Lady of the Highways may appear
