Take the Highway Lyrics

Take the highway
Lord knows I'll be gone too long
What a sad day, yeah
One day you'll turn around and I'll be gone
And the time has finally come
For me to pack my bags and walk away
To be safe...

I'll be back someday
But darlin, please don't wait for me too long
This is one place I can't stay
Memories of your love still lingers on
And the time has finally come
For me to pack my bags and walk away
To be safe...

I'll be back someday
But darlin, please don't wait for me too long
This is one place I can't stay
Memories of your love still lingers on
And the time has finally come
For me to pack my bags and walk away
To be safe...

Take the highway
Take the highway
Take the highway
And the time has finally come
For me to pack my bags and walk away
To be safe

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Wow no comments? Obviously it's kind of like Free Bird's lyrics. It's a guy who can't be tied down to one place.
