People don’t pick you up on the blue highway
That blues highway, ah that’s a road you travel alone
And people sure ain't gonna look you up
On that blue highway
That blues highway, keeps on leading you on

I left Chicago
Moved on, flew out to San Francisco
Tryin' to lose them, whoa!
Chicago blues

And if I can’t find my kind of sunshine
In ole California
Just don't want to
Live this ole life of mine

People don't pick you up on that blue highway
That blues highway, that’s a road you travel alone
And people sure ain't gonna look you up
On that blue highway
That blues highway, keeps on lead-el, lid-el, lid-el, lid-el
Lid-el, lid-el, lid-el, lid-el, lead you on
Lead-el, lid-el, lid-el, lead

I remember every single one of those lonely nights
Ah, so lonely
Another losin' night, in a losin' fight
All around me
