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 won’t be comin’ back

I’ll leave the key under the welcome mat



CH1: It’s a little after midnight

And the windin’ road ahead looks black

I’m drivin’ with one headlight 

And the signs are sayin’ don’t turn back

Tears are fillin’ up my eyes

I’m tryin’ to stay between the lines

Can’t waste another day livin’ a lie

I’m on Highway 59

And It’s leading to goodbye



V2: I see the weepin’ 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



Headin’ over red mountain pass

I hope to make Montgomery before I run out of gas 





CH2: It’s a little after midnight

And the windin’ road ahead looks black

I’m drivin’ with one headlight 

And the signs are sayin’ don’t turn back

Tears are fillin’ up my eyes

I’m tryin’ to stay between the lines

Can’t waste another day livin’ a lie

I’m on Highway 59

And It’s leading to goodbye



Bridge: Two lovers holdin’ on and wastin’ time

Thirsty for love but the wells run dry
