Travel Lyrics for theBallad of I-75 I’ve travelled north to Mackinaw...and up to Sault Ste. Marie, The livin’s fine in Canada...but there’s places yet to see, Just down the road aways...there’s a highway so they say, that stretches 1,500 miles...from here to Tampa Bay. Chorus I’m rollin’ along...down I-75 leavin’ all my worries far behind, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf...along I-75 Ain’t got nothin’ but blue skies on my mind. Detroit City now there’s a town...I’ve heard a lot about, they say there’s good times waitin’ there...so I thought I’d check it out, Where neon signs are flashing...new cars move down the line, and even when they’re sittin’ still...Detroit girls are fine. I stopped a while in Knoxville...and joined a bluegrass band, I couldn’t sing or pick a lick...but sure could clap my hand, We went to Chattanooga...and went our separate ways, I was looking for the blue, blue skies...and they’re heading for better days. In Marietta, Georgia...I met a Southern belle, One single look, that’s all it took...I was captured by her spell, But her daddy was a Georgia State Trooper...caught us necking in my Chevrolet, And that’s why I’m a’running...down south to Tampa Bay. And now it’s your turn. Would you like to hear it? It’s a wonderful song, with strong rhythm and beat. Go to my website -www.i75online.com/I75-Song.html - and enjoy a moment of musical history.
