Highways And Heartaches |
Verse 1: |
Leaving California |
She is on my mind |
I left her back in Travis County |
Crying to a clothesline |
Steel guitar on the radio, |
Cuttin' slow and mean |
I brought home the bottle |
She just wanted beans |
Chorus |
Highways and heartaches |
Go together like you and me |
Do you ever think about it |
When the night is sad and lonely. |
Verse 2: |
I wonder if she’s watching TV |
Cryin' with soap opera stars |
I wonder if she’s seen it in me |
Or if we’ve gone to far. |
Look at all the lovers, |
Runnin' from their past |
Gassin' up just to get somewhere |
But goin' nowhere fast |
Chorus |
Bridge: |
Do you ever think about it |
When the night is sad and lonely |
Verse 3: |
Runnin' away don’t stop the pain |
It just delays the cryin' |
What’s left unsaid is better swallowed |
Is covered up with lyin' |
Though the song is over |
I can still hear the steel guitar’s |
And though the past is gone for good |
It still helps to swallow hard. |
Chorus |
