SKYWAY by Richard Stuverud
My good friend Drew Gordon once said "It'd be cool if you recorded Skyway", which just happens to be one of my favorite Replacement's tunes.
And since I did record a version of another Replacement's fav of mine in Here Comes A Regular that I put out on my record Hummingbirds, I thought, why not?
It's no secret Paul Westerberg is a songwriting hero of mine, so here ya go.
I extended the outro because I just didn't want the song to end.
Hope you dig it!

Lyrics
Skyway
You take the skyway
High above the busy little one-way
In my stupid hat and gloves, at night, I lie awake
Wonderin' if I'll sleep, wonderin' if we'll meet out in the street
But you take the skyway
It don't move at all like a subway
It's got bums when it's cold out like any other place
It's warm up inside, sitting down waiting for a ride
Beneath the skyway
Oh then one day
I saw you walking down that little one-way
Where the place I'd catch my ride most every day
There wasn't a damn thing I could do or say
Up in the skyway
Skyway
Skyway
