By the Highway Side Lyrics

Have you ever been to Ogallala early in the morning

When the sun shines off the corn and everything is so still

When the sparkle in the field lets you know that it's been raining

And the ogres that adorn the Denneys eating their fill

Ooh, it's Ogallala by the highway side

Where the hogs run the trail that the ponies would ride

Miss the downtown and the wild, wild west

But we'll make it into Lincoln before the sun sets

Ooh, it's a wild ride by the highway side

Well, have you ever been to Lincoln while the sun is sinking slowly

As the wind begins to blow to take a walk downtown

It's a summer Sunday evening and the streets all feel so lonely

And you're leaving on your own, you drop the hammer down

Ooh, that's Lincoln by the highway side

Where the land is green and the sky is so wide

We miss the capital, it's shining bright

But we'll make it in to Omaha before midnight

Yeah, it's a wild, wild ride by the highway side

Well, have you ever been through Omaha way late into the evening

In the hours you're believing that you won't stay awake

When your eyes are playing tricks you find the road can be deceiving

But you know you'll soon be leaving the cornhusker state

Ooh, it's Omaha by the highway side

Across the Missouri so deep and wide

We miss the wild kingdom, it's what we know best

But we'll make it to Des Moines before we take our rest

Ooh, We sit back and let it all glide

by the highway side

It's a wild, wild ride

Just enjoy the ride

By the highway side
