It's never a straight shot When you're driving so fast
Hoping to go so far You'll find something that lasts
But the straight and narrow It took a real hard ride
And I'm leaving everything behind me Ain't got nothing in sight
But the lonely highway It's the only way I know
And I'm getting good at doing things my way
This time I'm gonna take it real slow
Because my heart's on the mend once again
And I just can't seem to stay off this lonely highway
Now the tank says it's full But I'm running on empty
Stuck here on this road map Ever since you left me
Tell me it's all your fault But you're the only one who knows me
So I'm driving myself in circles Singing all the songs you wrote me
Lonely highway It's the only way I know
And I'm getting good at doing things my way
This time I'm gonna take it real slow
Because my heart's on the mend once again
And I just can't seem to stay off this lonely highway
So many miles behind me It's the only place I feel on track
And I'm loving the way the wind is taking me And I ain't never looking back on this
Lonely highway It's the only way I know
And I'm getting good at doing things my way
This time I'm gonna take it real slow Because my heart's on the mend once again
And I just can't seem to stay off this lonely highway
Oh, I just can't seem to stay
On this lonely highway
