That lonesome highway called me lord, I came runnin' Searching for one truth, I found another I watched my years pa** by me Threw some cracked and dirty windshield And the time flies let me tell you brother When the sh** comes down, it can hang around This is the life that can leave you cold Out on the side of the lost highway With no one left to hold And a hard rain hit my shoulder blade I was wonderin' what to do, I thought about you CHORUS And the tears come down Let loose this river of pain And the water flowed Washed away all the dirt and the stain And the sun came out Warmed my heart I want to live again
And there you were standing right in front of me Was my heart so dark that I just could not see you at all This road of life ain't straight and true It's filled with twists and turns And I've traveled down some side roads And boys did I get burned But I pulled up on my bootstraps I was wondering what to do When I thought about you CHORUS Every corner we go round Another road begins And the bridges we burn to the ground They can't be built again And there's some that I could count on And there's some that made me blue And then there was always you CHORUS
