Highways and Broken Hearts



He never knew their names and never really cared

Lying to himself, he was never just a young kid scared

Living on his own with no one to hold on to

Nowhere to go and nothing to do

But lie awake and pray that one-day

Someone will come his way


Chorus:

All He knows are

Highways and broken hearts, late nights and old guitars

Wondering where you are, you're so far away


His shoes are worn and tired and not at their best

Like a gypsy never sure where he's going next

Superficial friends, and girls with glazed over eyes

It's a good time, but just for the night

Then off he'll go to maybe Mexico

Then off through Colorado


All He knows are

Highways and broken hearts, late nights and old guitars

Wondering where you are, you're so far away


Staring through the walls of that motel room

Reflecting on his days, the route he's seemed to choose

Will good outshine bad, can he turn this thing around

Should he drop to his knees, just give up now

Begging for release in the night

Has he gone too far to fight?


All He knows are

Highways and broken hearts, late nights and old guitars

Wondering where you are, you're so far away
