"rolling stone" critic ben gerson contrasts "highway song" with another song on "mudslide slim and the blue horizon", "mud slide slim," by noting that "highway song" provides "a more philosophical, realistic analysis" by acknowledging that "a person chooses his circumstances as much as circumstances choose him." the song describes a journey, in which the highway represents punishment but also, according to gerson, "has an , sinister allure." according to taylor biographer timothy white, the song was inspired by the difficult traveling taylor had to do now since becoming a star musician with the release of his first two albums, as well his own confusion about being the center of attention in his family at the time his brothers and sister were also embarking on musical careers. "los angeles times" columnist dan neil links taylor's "highway song" with bruce springsteen's "born to run" as songs of "wanderlust," in which the road is used as a metaphor for the replacement of adventure and faith for security and certainty. author grace lichtenstein described gram parson's "grievous angel" as being a "first cousin" to "highway song" in its "lament about purposelessness and need for love."
