    Verse 1
    Friday 
    night's 
    pay 
    night, 

    guys 
    fresh 
    out 
    of 
    work 


    Talking 
    about 
    the 
    weekend, 

    scrubbing 
    off 
    the 
    dirt 


    Some 
    heading 
    home 
    to 
    their 
    families, 

    some 
    looking 
    to 
    get 
    hurt 


    Some 
    going 
    down 
    to 
    Stovell 

    wearing 
    trouble 
    on 
    their 
    shirts 


    work 
    Verse 2
    for 
    the 
    county 
    out 
    on 
    ninety 
    five 


    All 
    day 
    hold 
    red 
    flag 

    and 
    watch 
    the 
    traffic 
    pass 
    me 
    by 


    In 
    my 
    head 
    keep 
    picture 

    of 
    pretty 
    little 
    miss 


    Someday, 
    mister, 
    I'm 
    gonna 

    lead 
    better 
    life 
    than 
    this 

    Chorus 1
    Working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    laying 
    down 
    the 
    black
    top 

    Working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    all 
    day 
    long 
    don't 
    stop 

    Working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    blasting 
    through 
    the 
    bed
    rock 

    Working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    working 
    on 
    the 
    high
    way 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 3
    met 
    her 
    at 
    dance 
    down 
    at 
    the 
    union 
    hall 


    She 
    was 
    standing 
    with 
    her 
    brothers, 

    back 
    up 
    against 
    the 
    wall 


    Some
    times 
    we'd 
    go 
    walking 
    down 

    the 
    Union 
    tracks 


    One 
    day 
    looked 
    straight 
    at 
    her 

    and 
    she 
    looked 
    straight 
    back 

    Chorus 2
    So 
    I'm 
    working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    laying 
    down 
    the 
    black
    top 

    Working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    all 
    day 
    long 
    don't 
    stop 

    Working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    blasting 
    through 
    the 
    bed
    rock 

    Working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    working 
    on 
    the 
    high
    way 

    Interlude 2




    Bridge 1
    saved 
    up 
    my 
    money 
    and 
    put 
    it 
    all 
    away 

    went 
    to 
    see 
    her 
    daddy 

    but 
    we 
    didn't 
    have 
    much 
    to 
    say 

    "Son, 
    can't 
    you 
    see 
    that 
    she's 
    just 
    little 
    girl 

    She 
    don't 
    know 
    nothing 

    about 
    this 
    cruel, 
    cruel 
    world" 

    Verse 4
    We 
    lit 
    out 
    down 
    to 
    Florida, 

    we 
    got 
    along 
    all 
    right 


    One 
    day 
    her 
    brothers 
    came 
    and 
    got 
    her 

    And 
    they 
    took 
    me 
    in 
    black-and-white 


    The 
    prosecutor 
    kept 
    the 
    promise 

    that 
    he 
    made 
    on 
    that 
    day 


    And 
    the 
    judge 
    got 
    mad 

    and 
    he 
    put 
    me 
    straight 
    a
    way 


    wake 
    up 
    every 
    morning 

    to 
    the 
    work 
    bell 
    clang 


    Me 
    and 
    the 
    warden 
    go 
    swinging 
    on 
    the 

    Charlotte 
    County 
    road 
    gang 

    Chorus 3
    I'm 
    working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    laying 
    down 
    the 
    black
    top 

    Working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    all 
    day 
    long 
    don't 
    stop 

    Working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    blasting 
    through 
    the 
    bed
    rock 

    Working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    working 
    on 
    the 
    high
    way 

    Chorus 4
    I'm 
    working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    laying 
    down 
    the 
    black
    top 

    Working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    all 
    day 
    long 
    don't 
    stop 

    Working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    blasting 
    through 
    the 
    bed
    rock 

    Working 
    on 
    the 
    highway, 

    working 
    on 
    the 
    high
    way

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
