I'm here in Philadelphia   She got caught down in DC   It's a wretched night, it's raining   But she's coming up to meet me    There's nothing I can do   By the time she gets halfway   She'll be tired of 95   The spray off those trucks sucks   I hope she gets through alive      Our Lady of the Highways   Keep my baby straight tonight   Guide her safely down the road   Keep her always in the light   Let the sad moon looking down on me    Shine bright as she comes here    'Til Our Lady of the Highways   May appear      Sometimes the weather's worst   When you have some place to be    Like the time we drove to Boston    In the snow from New York City   Frozen to the bone   And we saw the planes fly high above   On metal wings and prayers    And tried to find some radio    Hoping one day we would be there      Our Lady of the Highways   Keep my baby straight tonight   Guide her safely down the road    Keep her always in the light   Let the sad moon looking down on me   Shine bright as she comes here    'Til Our Lady of the Highways   May appear      And I guess she always gets here    Heaven knows just how she does   And that statue of our Lady   Is crying tears of love      Now I'm in San Francisco    A town too hard for love   She's driving from Seattle   800 miles above me   Why are we apart?   So please don't let the fog roll      Heavy on that Highway 5   I want her here so soon   But I want her here alive      Our Lady of the Highways   Keep my baby straight tonight    Guide her safely down the road    Keep her always in the light   Let the sad moon looking down on me   Shine bright as she comes here    'Til Our Lady of the Highways    May appear
