The Highway Is Like A Woman
by 
Albert Collins 
recording of 1980 
from 
Frostbite (Alligator ALCD-4719) 
The time has come, I got to hit the road again 
I said the time has come, I've got to hit the road again 
'Cause I travel with a passion, and the highway is my lady friend 
You see the highway's like a woman, soft shoulders an' dangerous curves 
You see the highway is like a woman, like a woman, soft shoulders an' dangerous curve 
If you don't know her when you start travelin', boy she can really upset your nerves 
But if you respect her when she warns you, I swear the highway treat you fine 
But if you respect her when she warn you, I swear the highway'll treat you fine 
When she's wet an' she's slippery, then watch out for the detour sign
