After days of roaming
Like a pigeon homing
I am going home today
Roads that tore me
Seem to smile before me
Do you blame me when I say
Highways are happy ways
When they lead the way to home
Highways bring happy days
To the broken hearts that roam
And as you travel
Along those ribbons of gray
They all unravel
And pull you homeward to stay
‘Cause highways are happy ways
When they lead the way to home
Roads may lead all over
If you are a rover
You’ll find roads of every kind
When your heart grows weary
When the world seems dreary
Bear this little thought in mind
Highways are happy ways
When they lead the way to home
Highways bring happy days
To the broken hearts that roam
And as you travel
Along those ribbons of gray
They all unravel
And pull you homeward to stay
‘Cause highways are happy ways
When they lead the way to home
