Highway 49 - George Thorogood, The Destroyers

I’m gonna get up in the mornin'

Gonna hit that Highway 49

I’m gonna get up in the mornin'

Gonna hit that Highway 49

I been lookin' for my Elvonnie (?)

That sweet woman’s steady on my mind

First I’m gonna stop by whiskey store

Pick me up a jug o’wine

First I’m gonna stop by the whiskey store

Pick me up a six-pack o’wine

I been lookin' for my baby

She’s restin' on my weary mind

Yeah, it’ll be soon in the mornin'

When I go rollin' into Jacksontown, downtown

It’ll be soon in the mornin'

When I go rollin' into Jackson, Mississippi town

I been lookin' for my baby

The police said she can’t be found

Don’t tell me that

I’m gonna get up in the mornin'

Gonna hit that Highway 49

I’m gonna get up in the mornin'

Gonna hit that Highway 49

I’m gonna dust my blues, peoples

Leave this raggedy-ass town behind
