Analysis of Blue Hiways
Daniel C Wintermeyer 1952 (Minneapolis)
Which way shall I go today
will it be the blue highways
To see the America of old
on the old two lane road
The real America awaits us all
all we need is heed the call
adventure is there for us to begin
Just go ahead and take a spin
Tires hum on two lanes still
it all awaits beyond yon hill
