Highway 99 Lyrics

Highway 99 are the roads dry

I don't make it back enough north-side

I was sitting the passenger the whole time

And it all came peacefully

Highway 99 are the roads dry

Just a couple skellies on a cold night

Wonder what you thinkin' bout on your side

Cause it all came peacefully

Mmh, mmh mmh, mmh

Yeah

Once in a while, I'ma let you be nice to me

Will you say it soft, say it twice to me

Who my grandma sees, that is who I'm tryin' to be

But I get that double vision in the driver's seat, yeah

Who you runnin' away from

When I give to you there's nobody it takes from

Got that Louisville slugger you practically grew up with

But you're runnin' out of people you could chase, love

Highway 99 are the roads dry

I don't make it back enough north-side

I was sitting the passenger the whole time

And it all came peacefully

Highway 99 are the roads dry

Just a couple skellies on a cold night

Wonder what you thinkin' bout on your side

Cause it all came peacefully

Still on my broke shit

Never stuck my nose out, still got COVID

Still ain't read your message, only real if it's open

I don't fear the hate, I fear becoming unnoticed

The rain starts to stick to the windshield

You ask me if I ever thought we'd get here

But I'm still tryin' to figure out where here is

So I tell you that my first job was near-ish

My first dog never saw me do adult shit

So I hold every puppy just exactly how I'd hold him

When they get to heaven, they got somethin' they could talk about

I swear you know me like my nose know my mama's house

I swear you hold me like I'm tryin' to hold my mama down

Way too many homies jumped ship when we charted south

Wait until the river 'fore you Harpeth out

Wade into the river if she callin' now

I like my shit uncolonized, I keep my God unpronounced

Keep my music short and sweet, just in case I gotta bounce

You wanna be followed but be followed how

I don't wanna reach the finish line and be hollowed out

I use my pen to put it all in sound

You used to pencil in your darker brows

And there's some very different versions of ourselves who'd be awful proud

I think I hear 'em talkin' now

Highway 99 are the roads dry

I don't make it back enough north-side

I was sitting the passenger the whole time

And it all came peacefully

Highway 99 are the roads dry

Just a couple skellies on a cold night

Wonder what you thinkin' bout on your side

Cause it all came peacefully

Mmh, mmh mmh

Cause it all came peacefully
