| There’s a curve in the highway just south of town
|
| Where a man has pulled over to figure life out
|
| With only his conscience and the lonesome sound
|
| Of diesels windin' up the grade
|
| He’s got a wife and two kids, they love him so
|
| And a woman down in Georgia, she startin' to show
|
| He’s damned if he leaves and he' sure damned if he don’t
|
| And he wonders how life got this way
|
| ('Cause its) A fine line in between right and wrong
|
| (Yeah) He’s been crossing over that border way too long
|
| He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start
|
| Now there ain’t no escape from a broken heart
|
| Now the call of the highway is a powerful thing
|
| Like the pull of a lover or a child in a swing
|
| He gave his heart to two women, only one wears his ring
|
| They’re both gonna have his babies now
|
| So how do you confess what words won’t explain
|
| He never intended to cause this much pain
|
| Now he feels like a farmer who went prayin' for rain
|
| And got that he bargained from the clouds
|
| (And its)
|
| He’ll turn his care around tonight
|
| Go home and try to face the truth
|
| Everyone involed’s getting" hurt
|
| And there ain’t nothin' he can do
|
| He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start
|
| Now there ain’t no escape, now there ain’t no escape
|
| From
|
| Now there ain’t no escape from a broken heart
|
| Yeah they’re all gonna wind up with a broken heart
|
| Nobody’s getting' out without a broken heart |
