72 (This Highway's Mean)

Don't know why they even bother
 Putting this highway on the map
 Anybody that's ever been on it
 Knows exactly where they're at
 This hell's on both ends of it
 Nowhere's in between
 And this highway's mean
 ♪
 Seems like it's always hot down here
 No matter when you come
 It's the kind of heat that holds you
 Like a mama holds her son
 Tight when it tries to walk, even tighter if it runs
 It's a mean old dusty highway
 But it's the only one that'll get me there
 That'll get me there
 ♪
 Mean old highway
 Stuck to the ground in Mississippi
 It's the one'll set me free
 It's the same one that I see
 Being ripped up off the ground
 And wrapped around me
 Don't let it fool you
 This highway's mean
 ♪
 But I don't need a map to tell me where I am today
 This feeling that I have has always led the way
 Down here, you're running from a broken heart
 Or to a heart that you got to break
 On this mean old highway
 On this mean old highway
 ♪
 Mean old highway
 Stuck to the ground in Mississippi
 It's the one'll set me free
 It's the same one that I see
 Being ripped up off the ground
 And wrapped around me
 Don't let it fool you
 This highway's mean
 Well, this highway's mean
 Highway!
 And I told you this highway's mean!
