Highway 51 runs right by my babys door
Highway 51 runs right by my babys door
If I dont get the girl Im loving
Wont go down to Highway 51 no more
Well, I know that highway like I know my hand
Yes, I know that highway like I know the back of my hand
Running from up Wisconsin way down to no-mans-land
Well, if I should die before my time should come
And if I should die before my time should come
Wont you bury my body out on Highway 51?
Highway 51 runs right by my babys door
I said, Highway 51 runs right by my babys door
If I dont get the girl Im loving
Wont go down to Highway 51 no more
