about

Ben says:

This song was also put together in New Haven, CT, probably in 1975 (after a bad breakup, of course!). It refers to a way to the west out of New Haven that avoids going through New York City. New Haven can get cold winds from Long Island sound, although I was told that the “Sound” is not really considered the Atlantic Ocean, and so perhaps the word “sea” is misplaced. On the other hand, “sound” does not rhyme with “me”.

lyrics

HIGHWAY 34
(B. Stark)

Soon it will be winter and the cold winds they will blow
bringing back old memories of I know when
and you won’t be going with me down that lonesome road
and I guess that I’ll be on my own again

Well, I packed up all my things into the back seat of my Ford
I and I guess I’ll take me downtown, get some gas
Then I’ll turn myself around and head for Highway 34
Pretty soon I’ll be on 80 going west

Well, a long, long time ago you said you’d love me ‘til the end
but I guess those kinds of things can never last
And now you’ll be going your way and I’ll be going mine
and hope that things will work out for the best

Soon it will be winter and the cold winds they will blow
sending showers of shivers to the sea
and you won’t be going with me down that lonesome road
but I doubt if it’ll be the end of me
