Hi'Way Songs Lyrics

When I walk the hill so high around the town where I was born, New York seems so far away though I was there just yesterday. I have played on my guitar in coffeehouses, halls and bars. Everyone that I call friend knows they will not be forgot. Trains and planes and rented cars, singers, saints, and other stars, I suspect them every one, they'll never change, it's too much fun. Just for now I'd like to rest in the shade of a maple tree. To the blue Canadian sky, I'll say a prayer for the world out there. When I stand on my own sod, it feels so good to be home, by God. The winter wind has turned my head but I always came up warm somehow. Bottles, beads, and cigarettes and lovers that I ain't found yet. Picking with a friend till dawn, and singing all of those hi'way songs. Just for now I'd like to rest in the shade of a maple tree. To the blue Canadian sky, I'll say a prayer for the world out there. When I walk the hill so high around the town where I was born, New York seems so far away though I was there just yesterday. I would travel all my life if loneliness was not the price. But heading north across that line's the only time I'm flying.
