Highway 59

You and I spent so many nights Feeling alone lying side by side I take a last look and I say goodnight Blow you a kiss and turn out the light Guess this time I won’t be coming back I’ll leave the key under the welcome mat It’s a little after midnight And the winding road ahead looks black I’m driving with one headlight And the signs are saying don’t turn back Tears are filling up my eyes I’m trying to stay between the lines Can’t waste another day living a lie I’m on Highway 59 and It’s leading to goodbye I see the weeping willow disappear In our front yard through the rear view mirror These country roads that brought me home for years Now are taking me away from here Heading over red mountain pa*s I hope to make Montgomery before I run out of gas It’s a little after midnight And the winding road ahead looks black I’m driving with one headlight And the signs are saying don’t turn back Tears are filling up my eyes I’m trying to stay between the lines Can’t waste another day living a lie I’m on Highway 59 and It’s leading to goodbye Two lovers holding on and wasting time Thirsty for love but the wells run dry
