I was born down in San Antone daddy would leave us all alone   Big rig rolling thunder on a Dallas bound highway home   Mama got a job and she worked real hard   She had two little kids in a trashed out car   Yeah, but me and my brother seemed to get along just fine      Yeah and you know the highway just like a river keeps rolling on   And you know it's my way, I was born to sing this song   Have no fear, I ain't going nowhere   Everything is gonna be just fine      So I turn on the TV on a Sunday afternoon   This preacher was saying, "Boy you're gonna meet your doom   If you do to the honky-tonks and drink that ice cold beer"   Well, I've got me some friends and we're real tight   We stay up drinking and talking in the middle of the night   We talk about Jesus man I'll tell you he's one pretty cool dude      Yeah and you know the highway just like a river keeps rolling on   And you know it's my way, I was born to sing this song   Have no fear, I ain't going nowhere   Everything is gonna be just fine      Lately I've been toying with the notion   Of setting these wheels in motion   Set me out on the highway to see what I can see   Then you came in crying you were bitching at me      You said, your baby or the highway now what's it gonna' be   I said, ?Well, maybe you don't get it   It's the nature of the business?   And I'm 'bout to be moving on      Yeah and you know the highway just like a river keeps rolling on   And you know it's my way, I was born to sing this song   Have no fear, I ain't going nowhere   Everything is gonna be just fine
