Songtexte Highways And Heartaches - Joe Ely

Leaving California
She is on my mind
I left her back in Travis county
Cryin' to a clothesline
A Steel guitar on the radio
Is cuttin' slow and mean.
I brought home the bottle
She just wanted beans

Highways and heartaches
Go together like you and me
Do you ever think about it
When the night is sad and lonely

I wonder if she's watchin' TV
Cryin' with Soap Opera Stars
I wonder if she sees them in me
And if we gone too far
Look at all the Lovers
Runnin' from their past
Gassin' up just to get somewhere
Goin' nowhere fast

Highways and heartaches
Go together like you and me
Do you ever think about it
When the night is sad and lonely

Do you ever think about me
When the night is sad and lonely
Do you ever think about me
When the night is sad and lonely

Runnin' away don't stop the pain
It just delays the cryin'
What's left unsaid is better swallowed
Than covered up with lyin'
Though the song is over
I still hear the steel guitar
And though the past is gone for good
It still helps to swallow hard

Highways and heartaches
Go together like you and me
Do you ever think about it
When the night is sad and lonely

Do you ever think about it
When the night is sad and lonely
Do you ever think about it
When the night is sad and lonely
