Joe Ely - Highways And Heartaches Lyrics
Verse 1:Leaving CaliforniaShe is on my mindI left her back in Travis CountyCrying to a clotheslineSteel guitar on the radio,Cuttin' slow and meanI brought home the bottleShe just wanted beansChorusHighways and heartachesGo together like you and meDo you ever think about itWhen the night is sad and lonely.Verse 2:I wonder if she's watching TVCryin' with soap opera starsI wonder if she's seen it in meOr if we've gone to far.Look at all the lovers,Runnin' from their pastGassin' up just to get somewhereBut goin' nowhere fastChorusBridge:Do you ever think about itWhen the night is sad and lonelyVerse 3:Runnin' away don't stop the painIt just delays the cryin'What's left unsaid is better swallowedIs covered up with lyin'Though the song is overI can still hear the steel guitar'sAnd though the past is gone for goodIt still helps to swallow hard.Chorus
