The Highway Song

It all started I was 17

Fell in love with a man who didn't love me

So I've been breaking hearts

Trying to fill a spot that he left empty

Started back when I was naive

Loved him with every part of me

Can't be the woman that I should be

Cheap thrills and cheaper dreams

On a highway with no name

We're all high on Mary Jane

And I bummed one cigarette

But now I'm smoking like a train

I got a man from Oklahoma

And I told him that I loved him

But I was born for leaving

I'll be gone in the morning

Now I'm tired and I'm alone

But it's been so long this is all I know

And it kills me what his pictures show

He's better off on his own

Memory from his beaten path

A memory that'll never last

And he is everything that I have ever known

On a highway with no name

We're all high on Mary Jane

And I bummed one cigarette

But now I'm smoking like a train

I got a man from Oklahoma

And I told him that I loved him

But I was born for leaving

I'll be gone in the morning

Just when I think that I'm over it

It comes in the form of a sleepless night

Just when I think that I'm movin' on

It comes in the form of a heartache song

Just when I think that I'm over it

It comes in the form of a cocaine habit

Just when I think that I'm movin' on

It comes in the form of a heartache song

On a highway with no name

We're all high on Mary Jane

And I bummed one cigarette

But now I'm smoking like a train

I got a man from Oklahoma

And I told him that I loved him

But I was born for leaving

I'll be gone in the morning

I'll be gone in the morning

I'll be gone in the morning
