Verse 1: |
|
Leaving California |
|
She is on my mind |
|
I left her back in Travis County |
|
Crying to a clothesline |
|
Steel guitar on the radio, |
|
Cuttin' slow and mean |
|
I brought home the bottle |
|
She just wanted beans |
|
Chorus |
|
Highways and heartaches |
|
Go together like you and me |
|
Do you ever think about it |
|
When the night is sad and lonely. |
|
Verse 2: |
|
I wonder if she's watching TV |
|
Cryin' with soap opera stars |
|
I wonder if she's seen it in me |
|
Or if we've gone to far. |
|
Look at all the lovers, |
|
Runnin' from their past |
|
Gassin' up just to get somewhere |
|
But goin' nowhere fast |
|
Chorus |
|
Bridge: |
|
Do you ever think about it |
|
When the night is sad and lonely |
|
Verse 3: |
|
Runnin' away don't stop the pain |
|
It just delays the cryin' |
|
What's left unsaid is better swallowed |
|
Is covered up with lyin' |
|
Though the song is over |
|
I can still hear the steel guitar's |
|
And though the past is gone for good |
|
It still helps to swallow hard. |
|
Chorus |
