Now blue skies and teardrops have got me down

And the wheat straw in the wind keeps blowin’ round and round

Miles full of emptiness is all I’ve found

And the road says you’ve got to move along

Does anybody passin’ by know how I feel

As another mornin’ settles like the dust behind my heels

In the shadow of a restless soul born on wheels

I’m bound to sing the highways in my song

Chorus:

Blue skies and teardrops have got me down…

Now the wanderin’ song within me is a song I’ve learned

When I heard the freight train’s whistle and my head was turned

The carefree chorus of that liner as she burned

Now the lineman says I got to move along

Chorus:

Well blue skies and teardrops have got me down…

Now I left the years and miles lyin’ where they fell

Among the book my soul was written and the tales my shoes could tell

I left them lyin there for someone else to tell

And the road says you’ve got to move along

Chorus:

Well blue skies and teardrops have got me down…
