Lyrics Nothing But A Whippoorwill - Blue Highway

Nothing But A Whippoorwill

Well I m running down this road
A hundred miles from home
We quarreled like true lovers often will
And I still recall the shame
Thought I heard her call my name
But it was nothing nothing but a whippoorwill
Dark clouds, lightning in the air
The rain was softly falling as I brushed away her hair
She said we had to part, even though she held my heart
And to this day, I know she always will
It was such a dreadful sight, but she s peaceful there tonight
Lying in the ground so cold and still
I couldn t let her walk away
From everything she promised on our wedding day
Now I m running every day, but I ll never get away
From the rhythm of her voice, it haunts me still
As I turned my gun around
Thought I heard that mournful sound
But it was nothing nothing but a whippoorwill
Dark clouds, lightning in the air
The rain was softly falling as I brushed away her hair
