Well i was playing guitar when i was just a lad. that swinging rhythm took a hold on me When we hit that groove lord i feel like i belong. brother music and myself are family Well i like living on this highway for many years it's been the way i've known But no matter where i been, no matter where i roam, i'm a shootin star from texas But the interstates my home. Well lefty and hank williams lord they sure could sing And i wore the needle off my phonograph. Well i went looking for them. when i turned eighteen And ever since i've worked to hone my craft Well what a life i've got, i've paid to play them clubs Meetin folks and seeing different towns Aint never gonna stop doin what i love Well i'll keep on till they lay me in the ground Well i like living on this highway for many years it's been the way i've known But no matter where i been, no matter where i roam, i'm a shootin star from texas But the interstates my home.
