Lyrics:
Take the highway
Lord knows I've been gone too long
Lot of sad days, yeah
One day you'll turn around
And I'll be gone
And the time'll finally come
For me to pack my bags and walk away
Hear me say
I'll be back someday
But darlin' please don't
Wait for me too long
There's just one place I can't stay
Memories of your love still lingers on
And the time has finally come
For me to pack my bags and walk away
Hear me say
I'll be back someday
But darlin' please don't
Wait for me too long
There's just one place I can't stay
Memories of your love still linger on
And the time has finally come
For me to pack my bags and walk away
Hear me say
Take the highway
Take the highway
Take the highway
Take the highway, oh yeah
And the time has finally come
For me to pack my bags and walk away
Hear me say

The Marshall Tucker Band is our favorite band of our lifetime. The soundtrack to our youth and we continue to support Doug Gray and the current band members who keep this wonderful music alive for 45 years! Excellent job Blackberry Smoke!!!

[@Miatacrosser]

Ya except the flute

[@nautiquecowboynautiquecowb5317]

I have a problem with these guys you call the Marshall Tucker Band just a bunch of guys playing Marshall Tucker music. doug actually said of toy Caldwell there were lots of good guitar Pickers in the Marshall Tucker Band he was just one of them. Hell there was only one and that was TOY Caldwell AND TOMMY it was their band not Doug's .Doug was just a singer. He drugged the band's name into the ground.

[@souettequinn4663]

@@nautiquecowboynautiquecowb5317 The music speaks for itself as the band of today continues to tour and fill the venues of 2nd and 3rd generations of MTB fans. Toy and Tommy were exceptionally talented. They were trendsetters in the world of Southern Rock....but, the musicians of the band today are incredible artists who keep that LIVE music flowing as we sing the songs and hum the notes from the past 45 years. God bless every single MTB member, living and passed.

[@nautiquecowboynautiquecowb5317]

@@souettequinn4663 fair enough it just bothered me when I heard the gray say that the Marshall Tucker Band had a lot of good pickers and toy Caldwell was just one of them. There's no way there be a Marshall Tucker Band if it wasn't for Toy and Tommy Doug should think about that. They gave him his future. Haven't been around any of the band members since the night they were inducted hall of fame. Not personal friends just a fan. It's been a long time.

[@donpugh9930]

@@nautiquecowboynautiquecowb5317 I agree there was only one Toy Caldwell he was the one that did most of the writing of all the great songs MTB had. You can never replace him and as for Tommy there has never been a greater bass solo then the one on the live version of 24 hours at a time They were great musicians and can never be replaced. They were MTB. So sad all the tragedy that happened in the Caldwell family.

One of the best things about BBS is their interpretation of older songs. Another great pick and performance. Giving some love to the Marshall Tucker Band!

[@Miatacrosser]

Ya well they blew by hiring the wrong guy to play the flute. The flute part in this song is what drew me to MTB in '73 and this guy butchered it. On top of that, he looked like he knew he was butchering it and didn't care...like it was a part of the song nobody cared about. Bullocks!

[@ronwilson5210]

Marcus James Henderson killin' on flute. The name "Marshall Tucker" came from a piano tuner whose name was found on a key ring in their old rehearsal space. In 1972, they signed with Capricorn Records, the same label that guided The Allman Brothers Band, Wet Willie, and others to national fame.

[@craigpimlott204]

A blind piano tuner to boot ❤

[@MrJphilliber]

The sound of Charlie Starr's voice embodies that southern rock flavor. BBS is a true Southern Rock band 30-40 years after the legends. They are a legend in their own right!!!

[@JScottMoose]

BlackberrySmoke is my favorite band. The band, the sound, the finger on the pulse of great music I grew up with. Blackberry Smoke reminds of all the great music i grew up with. (born 1960) Blackberry Smoke might have been influenced by the rock and roll masters over the years, yet they have made the beautiful music they play theirs. The sound they have is their very own. This most recent effort speaks to just what I'm talkin about. Y'all know what I'm going to say next? That's right, it's a Texas thing. 😎

[@tonyred...]

@@Miatacrosser let hear you play the flute

[@chucklutter7399]

Fantastic cover of one of my favorite MTB songs. Paul does an incredible job harmonizing with Charlie. Charlie does this one well. Toy is one of my heroes. I am beholden to him, as I am all vets, for his sacrifices for our freedom. I am still in AWE some 40+ years later of the music he created and left behind. As disco took over the music scene, solidifying the 70s reputation as SUCKY, MTB and few others were making KICK ASS music. I am extremely fortunate to have seen the original band in that era before the untimely death ot Tommy. Music I will never forget and never stop listening to. BBS is a bright spot in these times. BEST AND PEACE

[@louis6331]

I just discovered this band about eight months ago didn’t even know they were on the planet… I may have missed out on a lot but I’m making up for it now because these dudes are really killer. Great sounds great choices of songs that they cover and their own songs of really really great I can’t say enough good things about them. They’re just that damn good. God bless Them. They’re bringing back an old way and traditional way of how to play music The right way. They are so good wish out of known about them a long time before this. Like I said I’m making up for it now. Unlike most of y’all listen to them for all these years I’ve got a treasure trove of stuff to go through and it just keeps getting better. Love these dudes. And out of music for a while so hadn’t kept up with much at all too many things happening in my life now that I’ve got my own studio being put up I’m coming across some great music these dudes. I’ll have a good one .And keep rockin. Hope that came out right I’m voice recognition system pretty much sucks and I suck at typing so I think you get the jest.
