The kid's left home, the kid's got a kid of her own
D Bm D Bm
Don't knock that door, don't knock it, nobody's home
Em Bm Em Bm
The mystery sign, turn off and follow it blind
Em D G D
The interstate is jammed and crammed with exhaust mist
Em D G
It only leads to somewhere you'll never miss
A
You'll never miss

Get on the blue highways, follow the blue highways
Em Bm Em Bm
You know that they're there, you know that they're there
F#m G A D Bm D Bm
Where the real America lies

The rusty chrome, the shutters swing open and closed

Don't knock that door, don't knock it, nobody's home
Em Bm Em Bm
The blood runs cold, the blood runs cold

There must be gold where fools are

Get on the blue highways, follow the blue highways

Blue highways, blue highways, blue highways
