I'm here in Philadelphia, she got stuck down in DC
It's a wretched night, it's raining, but she's coming up to meet me
There's nothing I can do
By the time she gets halfway, she'll be tired of 95
The spray off those trucks sucks and I hope that she gets here alive
And Our Lady of the Highways, keep my baby straight tonight
Guide her safely down the road and keep her always in the light
Let the sad moon looking down on me shine bright as she comes here
Til Our Lady of the Highways may appear
Sometimes the weather's worse when you have some place to be
Like the time I drove to Boston in the snow from New York City
Frozen to the bone
And the airplanes flew high above on metal wings and prayers
And we tried to find some radio hoping one day we'd get there
And Our Lady of the Highways, keep my baby straight tonight
Guide her safely down the road and keep her always in the light
Let the sad moon looking down on me shine bright as she comes here
Til Our Lady of the Highways may appear
And I guess she always gets here, heaven knows just how she does
And that statue of Our Lady is crying tears of love
ย
Now I'm in San Francisco, it's a town too hard for love
She's driving from Seattle, eight hundred miles above me
Why are we apart?
So please don't let the fog roll heavy on that highway 5
I want her here soon, but I want her here alive
And Our Lady of the Highways, keep my baby straight tonight
Guide her safely down the road and keep her always in the light
Let the sad moon looking down on me shine bright as she comes here
Til Our Lady of the Highways may appear
Til Our Lady of the Highways may appear
