Ely Joe Highways And Heartaches Lyrics

Highways And Heartaches Lyrics

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
