Highway 10
Words & Music by Mick Brady
Six o'clock alarm and I've only just got into bed
Quick cup of coffee, pull a T-shirt on
Splash a little water around my head
Out on the road, heading west
Early morning light, the world is looking its best
Anything could happen but it just hasn't happened yet
I'm pulling outta Tucson, never felt like this before
Sunrise behind me not a cloud in sight
The sky seems to cling to the desert floor
Road up ahead is straight and clear
I'm gonna burn it up and make it disappear
Nowhere else I'd rather be but here
I'm riding down Highway 10
Never did it before but I'll do it again
Five hundred miles, a hundred degrees
On the road between the desert and the deep blue sea
I got a lot of road behind me but it feels like I've just begun
Across the state line, mountains up ahead
Highway seems to shimmer in the burning sun
Just a few hours till I hit the coast
Cool blue ocean getting close
City Of The Angels, city of hope
Coulda headed for the hills, coulda headed down south
Coulda kept my head down and never left the house
