Highway 87

[Verse 1]

Highway 87 is a dangerous place to be

When you pissed off all the local boys

And your back's against the sea

The cops all know your number

The bars all know your name

After six straight months of drinkin' boy

You ain't never gonna be the same

Well I ain't seen the sunshine

Since I can't remember when

[Refrain]

I may not know where I'm goin'

But I sure know where I've been

[Verse 2]

Well the sheriff he been watchin' every move that I make

And one of thesе days he's a-gonna arrest me

For all thе time I take

The local girls all act

Like I just ain't their kind

Paintin' on their precious nails

And wastin' their sweet minds

Well I'd give half of Texas if I could find a friend

[Refrain]

I may not know where I'm goin'

But I sure know where I've been

[Verse 3]

Well the coast is disappearin'

As they line up on the beach

Doin' all those little things

That Sunday School don't teach

Jim Beam by the fire, cocaine in the stash

Baseball bat on the floorboard

Shotgun on the dash

And you may lose your mind

And go walkin' round the bend

[Refrain]

You may not know where you're goin'

But you'll sure know where you been

[Verse 4]

Highway 87 is a dangerous place to be

When you pissed off all the local boys

And your back's against the sea

The cops all know your number

The bars all know your name

After six straight months of drinkin' boy

You ain't never gonna be the same

Well I ain't seen the sunshine

Since I can't remember when

[Refrain]

I may not know where I'm goin'

But I sure know where I've been
