Highway 59 Lyrics

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 coming back
I’ll leave the key under the welcome mat

It’s a little after midnight
And the winding road ahead looks black
I’m driving with one headlight
And the signs are saying don’t turn back
Tears are filling up my eyes
I’m trying to stay between the lines
Can’t waste another day living a lie
I’m on Highway 59 and It’s 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
It’s a little after midnight
And the winding road ahead looks black
I’m driving with one headlight
And the signs are saying don’t turn back
Tears are filling up my eyes
I’m trying to stay between the lines
Can’t waste another day living a lie
I’m on Highway 59 and It’s leading to goodbye

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