Lyrics & Music: Jim Robinson
 

1.
The time is right for singing a new song,
Packing my bags and moving on -
I know it's been nice, but
I've been in this town just a little too long.

Chorus.
It's that highway call - it keeps my bags packed and it keeps me moving on -
Highway call - It makes me want to see each new day dawn -
It's a highway call.

2.
Some people would say that it's only myself that I've been running from -
All I got to say to that, is that I don't know from where I've come;
I want to feel the wind at my back, I want to feel the sun on my face -
And when the sun goes down I want to find myself in another place.

Chorus(repeat).

3.
I'm glad that you finally understand 'bout this thing that drives me mad -
'Cause the only friend I know is the wind that blows;
The time is right for singing a new song, packing my bags and moving on -
I know it's been nice, but I've been in this town just a little too long.

Chorus(repeat).
