Joe Ely - Highways and Heartaches lyrics

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 Ga**in' 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
