Joe Ely Highways And Heartaches Lyrics

Highways And Heartaches Lyrics

Leaving California, she is on my mind

I left her back in Travis county, cryin' to a clothesline

A steel guitar on the radio is cuttin' slow and mean

I brought home the bottle, she just wanted beans



Highways and heartaches

Go together like you and me

Do you ever think about it

When the night is sad and lonely



I wonder if she's watchin' TV, cryin' with soap opera stars

I wonder if she sees them in me and if we gone too far

Look at all the lovers runnin' from their past

Gassin' up just to get somewhere, goin' nowhere fast



Highways and heartaches

Go together like you and me

Do you ever think about it

When the night is sad and lonely?



Do you ever think about me

When the night is sad and lonely?

Do you ever think about me

When the night is sad and lonely?



Runnin' away, don't stop the pain, it just delays the cryin'

What's left unsaid is better swallowed than covered up with lyin'

Though the song is over I still hear the steel guitar

And though the past is gone for good, it still helps to swallow hard



Highways and heartaches

Go together like you and me

Do you ever think about it

When the night is sad and lonely?



Do you ever think about it

When the night is sad and lonely?

Do you ever think about it

When the night is sad and lonely?
