	Americana/Alt Country/AAAIt's a song about a loner, a drifter, a lover, a traveler. "Broke more hearts than Elvis, burned more bridges than the Viet Cong" Co-written with Calman Hart, this song has been covered by the Redwoods, Berkley Hart and Controlled Burn. Features a great organ part by A.J. Croce and a drippy surf-vibrato guitar part by John Katchur.

	Story Behind the Song I had the chorus for this song in my head for weeks. I couldn't get the verses down for the life of me. I called Calman, and we got together one night and banged it out in about 3 hours. One reviewer compared it to "I'm Drivin' My Life Away" by Eddie Rabbit, except faster and less twangy. Go figure... Lyrics Its a Helluva Highway, where Ive been. Aint no rules of the road. Just keep on movin. Its a Helluva Highway, the road Im on. And in a blink of the twinkle in your eye Ill be gone. My momma named me Atchison Topeka, but my friends call me Santa Fe And I been runnin like a cat on fire ever since I saw the light of day. Never stop anyplace long enough to let my motor cool down. When the sun comes up Ill be packing my bags and movin to another town. Its a Helluva Highway, where Ive been. Aint no rules of the road. Just keep on movin. Its a Helluva Highway, the road Im on. And in a blink of the twinkle in your eye Ill be gone. Broke more hearts than Elvis. Burned more bridges than the Viet Cong. But I aint tryin to hurt nobody. Im just tryin to move along. Got gypsy blood runnin through my veins. Ive tried but I cant keep still. Ive lived my life like a runaway train, and I guess I always will. Its a Helluva Highway, where Ive been. Aint no rules of the road. Just keep on movin. Its a Helluva Highway, the road Im on. And in a blink of the twinkle in your eye Ill be gone. And in a blink of the twinkle in your eye Ill be gone.
