Este tema se llama "Highway song" y es una de las canciones más grandes que ha dado nuestro querido Rock'n'Roll. En la más pura tradición de canciones épicas del southern como "Free bird", "Whipping post", "Can't you see" o "Green grass & high tides", Blackfoot tenía su propio himno con este "Highway song" que hace parte de un disco muy recomendable llamado "Strikes", aparecido en el año 1979 que os recomiendo fervientemente si todavía no cayó en vuestras manos.
Esta noche, me apetece volver a recordarla en este humilde espacio con un pedazo de vídeo de una actuación que ofreció la banda en el año 1982 en Zurich. Son algo más de nueve minutos pero qué ¡¡nuevo minutos!! señores.
BLACKFOOT: "Highway song":
Well, another day, another dollar, after I've sang and hollered,
Oh, it's my way of living, and I can't change a thing.
Another town is drawing near.
Oh, baby, I wish you were here!
But the only way I can see you, darlin', is in my dreams.
It's a highway song... you sing it on and on... on and on...
Well, the hurt you leave behind, it's the hurt that's on your mind.
Oh, and last night's show took its toll on me.
Well the city lights fly by me, as I lay my body in my bed,
Oh, and dreams of you
Dance through my head.
It's a highway song... you sing it on and on... on and on...
Highway song.. is as lonely.. as the road I'm on..
It's those big wheels are ready to roll.
We've be flyin' high and so low.
Lord, and all this madness, ain't crazy as it seems.
Everywhere, they stop and stare.
I'm just a stranger on this road.
Oh, I stand alone, only in my dream.
Highway song...you sing it on and on... on and on...
Highway song... is as lonely... as the road I'm on...
Highway song... you sing it on and on... on and on...
Highway song... is as lonely... as the road I'm on...
