I Found Love (On A Lonely Highway)

Mm, oh, oh, oh

Yeah, oh, oh, oh

I found love on a lonely highway

I found love on a lonely highway, mm

I was crying, and I could not see

Somebody was blowing their horn and looking at me

She said, "Pull over, I wanna talk to you

It seems you need a friend and I wanna be with you"

She said, "Can we talk about it? It looks like you're hurting

I think I've been in your shoes, tell me what you wanna do"

I said, "Woman, you're crazy, you can't help me

I'm looking for a lover who won't ever hurt me"

She said, "Why do you think I pulled you over?

I wanna give you my love"

I found love on a lonely highway

I found love on a lonely highway

Oh, yes, I did

I said maybe here's my chance to find new romance

I shouldn't act so crazy, giving up on love

She said, "Come and go with me

I'll take you there, to a better place

You'll have a better time with me, yeah

You'll have a better time with me"

I said, "Woman, you're crazy, you can't help me

I'm looking for a lover who won't ever hurt me"

She said, "Why do you think I pulled you over?

I wanna give you my love"

I found love on a lonely highway

I found love on a lonely highway

Oh, yes, I did, mm, yeah, whoa, whoa

Show love, sweet thing

Uh-huh, babe

Hey, ooh, whoa-oh

Hey, ooh, whoa-oh

Baby, whoo, sweet thing

Show love, mm

She said, "Why do you think I pulled you over?

I wanna give you my love"

She said, "If you want it, come and get it"

I found love (come and get it, come and get it, come and get it)

On a lonely highway (come and get all of my love)

So, I found love on a lonely highway

I don't think y'all understand

I found love on a lonely highway

You see, I wasn't looking for love (no, no, no)

I gave up (yes) a long, long time ago (long time)

I didn't want it, I didn't need it

I didn't want it, I didn't need it

I didn't want it, need it

Want it, need it

I didn't want love no more, no (I didn't want love no more)

(No, no, love, and I don't get along)

You see, y'all

Love and I, love and I (listen, y'all)

Love and I don't get along no more (no more)

But she said pull over, I wanna talk to you

Y'all know, sometimes your heart get in the way

Of what your mind is trying to tell 'em

You see, my mind said, "Don't do it," but my heart said

"Go ahead on and see what she wants

Go ahead on, it's alright"

She said "Pull over" (well, she said, y'all)

So, I, I pulled over, y'all, like a fool

Like a fool, y'all

Somewhere between (somebody help me) Jacksonville and Daytona

I pulled over like a fool, yeah (didn't mean to do it)

But you see, y'all, I told that girl (that's what I said, y'all)

That I really loved (that's what I -)

Not one time, not two times, not three, not four

Not five, but time again

Not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, oh!

Hmm-mm, yeah

(I pulled over like a fool, y'all) wait a minute now

Now, when she stepped out of the car (I don't understand what I'm doing)

When she stepped out of the car, y'all (wait a minute now)

I threw my head down

I believe I said something like Tyrone Davies

I wonder can I change, mine, mine, mine (I wonder can I change mine)

I wonder can I, can I turn back the hands of time

(Baby, can I turn back the hands of the time?)

You see, y'all, when she stepped out of the car

(That's right, y'all, listen to me now)

When she stepped out of the car (oh, well)

She was looking so good (so good)

So good (so good)

I said "Lord, have mercy on me" (Lord, have mercy on me)

Y'all know the rest, y'all know the rest of the story now, mm

She put her arms around me, y'all

And we've been together ever since

I guess I found love on a lonely highway
