Lee Mellor - Girl on the Highway lyrics

[Verse 1: Lee Mellor] When love came to her door She left out the back window and ran Into the arms of America Where dusty roads and lonely highways span Young and beautiful She don't look back that ain't rock and roll [Chorus] She keeps her eyes out on the highway Counts each notch of the great American spine Rolling faster down the highway They blur into one great golden line [Verse 2: Lee Mellor] Telephone wires sinewing The night sky like a network of nerves Firing, continuing Their messages across the universe Oh car radio With her cigarette dangling out the window [Chorus] [Bridge] But with time these tires Burning start to erode And these telephone wires Hum with the overload And these engines fires Threaten at any moment to explode As the sun retires Sun retires on, sun retires on the road [Verse 3: Lee Mellor] Now folks on the reservation Often can be overheard to say Of how she pulled into the service station Ditched her car at the evening's grey Walked off to meet the night 'Till the darkness swallowed up her cigarette light But sometimes, sometimes they see a [Chorus] Girl out on the highway Counting each notch of the great American spine They see a girl out on the highway Caught in the blur of one great golden line In the blur of one great golden line
