Spiral Highway (Unreleased Soundtrack Recording)

by Paul Simon

on One-Trick Pony (1980)

Ev'ry bar and grill
Ev'ry greasy spoon
Anywhere a quarter buys a tune
Ride the spiral highway one more roll
Ev'ry local call
Ev'ry pink motel
Any time the strain begins to tell
Ride that spiral highway one more roll
After the rain on the interstate
Headlights slide past the moon
Bone-weary traveler waits by the side of the road
Where's he going?
Then I think it's strange
The way the body turns
And how my heart approaches what it yearns
Ride that spiral highway one more roll
Ride that spiral highway one more roll
