[00:00.00]The Ghosts of Highway 20 - Lucinda Williams
[00:09.81]I know this road like the back of my hand
[00:14.33]
[00:15.36]Same with the stations only FM band
[00:20.44]
[00:21.60]Farms and truck stops firework stands
[00:26.72]
[00:27.80]I know this road like the back of my hand
[00:32.03]
[00:33.40]Southern secrets still buried deep
[00:38.54]
[00:39.10]Rooting and restless 'neath the cracked concrete
[00:44.04]
[00:44.99]If you where from here you would fear me
[00:50.56]
[00:51.21]To the death along with the ghost of highway 20
[00:55.81]
[00:56.86]I went through hell when I was younger
[01:01.80]
[01:02.70]Deep in the well you'll see the hunger
[01:07.70]
[01:08.74]To find the strength I got within me
[01:14.43]
[01:15.60]To wrestle with the ghost of highway 20
[01:20.12]
[01:20.79]Been sixty years I don't want for nothing
[01:25.75]
[01:26.79]But my tears they keep on coming
[01:32.12]
[01:32.96]And my fears continue to haunt me
[01:38.10]
[01:39.51]Along with the ghost of highway 20
[01:43.67]
[01:44.57]I know this road like the back of my hand
[01:49.62]
[01:50.35]Same with the stations only FM band
[01:56.56]Farms and truck stops and firework stands
[02:01.46]
[02:02.88]I know this road like the back of my hand
[02:07.84]
[02:37.98]Farms and truck stops and firework stands
[02:43.11]
[02:44.00]I know this road like the back of my hand
[02:48.81]
[02:49.97]No doubt about it a Mexican
[02:55.25]
[02:57.04]To the ghost of highway 20
[03:01.08]
[03:02.49]Run down motels faded billboards
[03:07.13]
[03:07.97]Used cars for sale the rusty junkyards
[03:14.23]This two lane blacktop will never let me
[03:19.36]
[03:21.09]Let go of the ghost along highway 20
[03:25.53]
[03:26.24]And I have seen the signs that say
[03:31.22]
[03:32.06]We're closing in on the final days
[03:37.57]
[03:38.16]But I got nothing to repent
[03:43.17]
[03:44.27]The saving grace is worth the ghost of highway 20
[03:49.33]
[03:50.05]I know this road like the back of my hand
[03:55.24]
[03:56.04]Same with the stations only FM band
[04:01.62]
[04:02.20]Farms and truck stops and firework stands
[04:07.02]
[04:08.38]Yeah I know this road like the back of my hand
[04:12.96]
[04:17.30]Every question and every breath
[04:22.17]
[04:23.17]Every exit leaves a little death
[04:27.70]
[04:29.54]In this way a memory
[04:33.97]
[04:35.79]That will wander with the ghost of highway 20
[04:40.62]
[04:41.19]Yeah I know this road like the back of my hand
[04:46.32]
[04:47.17]Same with the stations only FM band
[04:52.61]
[04:53.33]Farms and truck stops and firework stands
[04:58.37]
[04:59.72]I know this road like the back of my hand
[05:04.25]
[05:08.36]And I have seen the signs that say
[05:13.19]
[05:14.07]We're closing in the final days
[05:18.86]
[05:20.24]But I got nothing left to report
[05:25.23]
[05:26.29]A saving grace is with the ghost of highway 20
[05:31.25]
[05:32.25]That my saving grace is with the ghost of highway 20
[05:37.50]
[05:38.09]Yeah my saving grace is with the ghost of highway 20
