When you grow up on blue highways   And that's what you call home   All the people would stop and stare   At this old orphan of the road      In the beginning they did not believe me   But they believe me now   Tell my mama and tell my papa   I wish they could see me now      Chorus:   I'm coming back   For the resurrection   For the resurrection   I'm coming back   For the resurrection   For the resurrection      You're an outcast in a land of strangers   And that'a a cardinal sin   Make a break for the outside world   And they won't let you in      If you get lost out on Coney Island   Tell all my friends hello   That's where I learned the rules of the game   They taught me all I know      Chorus      You were drowning in a sea of laughter   Tears were in your eyes   When you found out what you were after   I could see your spirit rise      Chorus
