She was leaving in the morning On a hot day out of Truman Great Salt Lake to Arizona I awoke to find she'd gone She left a letter On my dashboard "I'm leaving you dear I've had enough Of the sad life And your troubles I've burned out on sour luck." So tape me to your dashboard My picture will see you home Just remember that I love you Always always because Well I'm flying down the highway The burning road never touches Me Leaving everything I had Behind me as far as I could see So will you remember In Philadelphia Or wherever the hell you're Going to Not just the hard times or the troubles But my heart that still belongs To you
