Riding On The Danville Pike
Blue Highway
1.
Ridin’ through the night on the Danville Pike
2.
He was the fastest horse anyone had seen
3. It
was just about dark on a Friday night
4.
Big Jim Grayson was a man of means
5.
Well, the watch from my pocket says it’s half past four
6.
Ridin’ through the night on the Danville Pike
1.
Gotta be there by the break of daylight
2.
He was a saw pony, he was tall and lean
3.
Not a cloud in the sky and the moon was bright
4.
Had more money than a poor boy’s dream
5.
Give up the rein and he begs for more
6.
Gotta be there by the break of daylight
1.
Twenty-five miles is all I lack
2.
He’d beat every challenger, they think they must
3.
We were bound to do something that had never been done
4.
He said, “Here’s 500 dollars, cause I know I’m right.”
5.
With a whole lot of heart and a little luck
6.
Twenty-five miles is all I lack
1.
I’m ridin’ on the Danville Pike
2.
He’d leave’em breathing heavy in a cloud of dust
3.
Make it all the way to Danville on the over-night run
4. “You’ll
never make Danville by the morning light.”
5.
We’ll be drinkin’ from the Dan when the sun comes up
6.
I’m ridin’ on the Danville Pike
