|
Blue Kentucky highway, heading for the line
|
She hasn't said a word all night
|
But the wheels are turning in her mind
|
I was riding shotgun and I knew things had gone wrong
|
Just as soon as she drop me off at the side of the road
|
And she let that gravel fly
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Now I'm walking in the moonlight
|
Seeing nothing but the tail lights
|
And that's a pair of tail lights I may never see again
|
She hit me with the left and right
|
Showing me nothing but the tail lights
|
And that's about as lonely as a highway's ever been
|
Back here with my bum out in the wind
|
|
Was it something that I did to her
|
Or the things I never said
|
I wonder if the way we were
|
Was only in my head
|
Now if I even make it back to town
|
Before the sun comes up
|
I'm gonna hit every parking spot around
|
'Til I find that pickup truck
|
|
(Repeat chorus)
|
|
Well I'll bet right now she's a-laughing at how
|
She brought me to my knees
|
But she won't be laughing half as loud
|
When she gives me back my keys
|
|
She'll be walking in the moonlight
|
Seeing nothing but the tail lights
|
And that's a pair of tail lights she won't ever see again
|
She hit me with the left and right
|
Showing me nothing but the tail lights
|
I'll know that's about as lonely as a highway's ever been
|
Back here with my bum out in the wind
|
|
