Long as I remember I was a curious soul So I lit out down the road I left from Memphis reckon 'round last year to see where this old highway goes
Mississippi came and Mississippi went and I ain't got nothing to show Going down to Louisiana so my blue eyes see How far this old highway goes
Well hummingbirds make a whole lot of buzz But it don't mean nothing, no I don't pay no mind to their hummingbird song Just keep a walking this open road
With every new step I get further still From all the good things that I've known You see, good things won't keep me satisfied When there's before me this open road
So come along with me far as you like But don't expect for me to slow See we won't make it long unless you're curious as me To see where this old highway goes
