[Verse 1]
So, my good friend
I see the super drug ends
[?] high up in the stratosphere
Brain fry Day-Glo
Holy water for my soul
Yes, you'll wake up in the U.S.A

[Chorus]
You know we gonna ride on the blue highway
I got to walk with electro glide on the blue highway
And I wave below to Christ on my highway
Yes, I almost died on the blue highway

[Verse 2]
Here's the Son from Mars
On a stolen guitar
He's out to rock your night, oow
Soul sister, soul hitter
I see you and [?]
Co-starring in the U.S.A

[Chorus]
You know we gonna ride on the blue highway
I got to walk with electro glide on the blue highway
And I wave below to Christ on my highway
Yes, I almost died -- on the blue highway

[Bridge]
Why did I miss you?
Why did I kiss you?

[Chorus]
You know we gonna ride on the blue highway
I got to walk with electro glide on the blue highway
And I wave below to Christ on my highway
Yes, I almost died
So glad that you’re living now
I’m glad that I'm here
And I’m glad that I want to stay, because
You know we gonna ride on the blue highway (ow)
I got to walk with electro glide on the blue highway, hey hey
And I wave below to Christ on my highway
Yes, I almost died on a blue highway, hey hey

[Outro]
Check me now, singing
Quaaludes and red wine for love
This is the time, a time for us
Can you hit[?] me, am I on the blue highway, hey hey
