Highway 59

You and I spent so many nights
Feeling alone lying side by side
I take a last look and I say goodnight
Blow you a kiss and turn out the light

Guess this time I wont be coming back
Ill leave the key under the welcome mat

Its a little after midnight
And the winding road ahead looks black
Im driving with one headlight
And the signs are saying dont turn back
Tears are filling up my eyes
Im trying to stay between the lines
Cant waste another day living a lie
Im on Highway 59 and Its leading to goodbye

I see the weeping willow disappear
In our front yard through the rear view mirror
These country roads that brought me home for years
Now are taking me away from here

Heading over red mountain pass
I hope to make Montgomery before I run out of gas

Its a little after midnight
And the winding road ahead looks black
Im driving with one headlight
And the signs are saying dont turn back
Tears are filling up my eyes
Im trying to stay between the lines
Cant waste another day living a lie
Im on Highway 59 and Its leading to goodbye

Two lovers holding on and wasting time
Thirsty for love but the wells run dry
