words and music by Arlo Guthrie



Sail with me into the unknown void

That has no end

Swept along the open road

That don't seem to begin

Come with me a love me, Babe

I may be back again

Meantime I'll keep sailing down

This highway in the wind



Evenings just begin the days

And follows with the night

To love you and to be with you

And say that it's all right

Love me while you have me, Babe

I may be back again

Meantime I'll keep sailing down

This highway in the wind



There's times I feel like going

And there's times I want to stay

Times that I ain't feeling well

And times I feel ok

Now you have time to love me, Babe

And I may have time agian

Meantime I'll keep sailing down

This highway in the wind



The fortune teller tells me

I have somewhere to go

I look and try to understand

And wonder how she knows

So I must be going now

I'm losing time my friend

Looking for a rainbow

Down this highway in the wind
