Leeroy Stagger - Carol lyrics

Carol took my photograph in the rain at zero mile She promised me a cigarette, and I promised her my best fake smile While sittin in the tall gra**, wishing we were in another land She just lit my cigarette, and took my by the hand Down that highway It's takin me away from home Down that highway The only place I feel alone Carol and me got married, when we turned 21 And her daddy never like me much To her mother I was their only son Wooden ghosts and car parts, scattered through our backyard Lovin' her was the easy to do Leaving was the only thing hard I went down that highway It's takin me away from home Down that highway The only place I'd feel alone Down that highway Feels like it's got no end It seems like my only friend Carol died 5 years ago, giving birth to our only son And her momma, daddy and me put her in the ground November 21 And sometimes later at night, I sit at our bedroom window Wishin I was somewhere with her Waitin for the wind to blow us, Down that highway It's takin me away from home Down that highway The only place I could feel alone Down that highway Seems like its got no end Down that highway The white line is your only friend Down that highway Down that highway
