The song Highways & Heartaches is performed by Joe Ely in the album named Love & Danger in the year 1992 .
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
Ga*sin' 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.
