Hank Williams - Lost Highway

Hank Williams is best remembered as a songwriter, so it's interesting to note that one of his signature songs was actually written by someone else. Leon Payne was a blind Texas musician who wrote a number of songs  that became popular for C&W performers in the 1950s. Doug Sahm, on one of his records, has a brief reminiscence of meeting Payne. 

The song captures a feeling that, since the interstate highway system spread in the US, is little-known: the feeling that all  roads connect, but some are way far away from anywhere you want to be.
