20 Jul 01 - 03:10 PM (#511385) Subject: RE: new lee highway blues lyric request From: mousethief Well I searched up one side of the internet and down the other, and couldn't find the lyrics. Hopefully somebody here will have the album, or a songbook, or something. Good luck! Alex |

20 Jul 01 - 04:04 PM (#511435) Subject: RE: new lee highway blues lyric request From: GUEST,Charlie in Brooklyn Thanks Alex. Both me and my fellow bandmate (our stringband wants to cover the song) also went a-web crawling and came up lacking. I'm surprised, considering that Bromberg was a pretty big fish for quite a while there. But hey, when did life ever make sense. --Charlie |

On the lines with (?) maybe if you have the actual lyrics you can correlate it with what I've typed.) NEW LEE HIGHWAY BLUES David Bromberg All through Northern Oregon, Always, at my side Sleepin', in those narrow beds, And then we'd ride. Drinkin' in those dirty bars, Keepin' out of sight Sleepin' in that cold back seat, And then we'd ride. You know that goddamned road seemed like it went forever Exhaust fumes made our eyes turn red and swell With our clothes stuck to the seat and to our bodies, It was a stinkin' summer trip through southern hell Eating carbonated crap Churning up inside Gas soaked service station jocks (?) And then we'd ride. Silence in the front seat, Tryin' not to start a fight Quiet (not sure of the rest of this line?) And then we'd ride. You know you can grow to hate these little crummy one horse towns, With their seamy movie houses long closed down No where to go from here but up or down that road And nothing over there but the same goddamned town Another sour coffee cup One more piece of cardboard pie Buy a toothbrush and a change of clothes And then we'd ride.
