hey highway

Hey Highway

Most days, I can pull myself together, til’ I make it home
Since he’s been gone
I take the longer way around this town so I won’t
see his truck
& it’s just my luck
That the radio started playing old Keith Whitley
I was doing fine until the chorus hit me

Hey highway
I’m half a mile from my place
And I can feel his memory coming up
& these wheels ain’t fast enough
To get to my driveway
Before my broken heart breaks
I’ll be breaking down by
the time this song is over
So hey highway
I think I need a shoulder

I’m no stranger to the pain,
just need a safer place to cry
Won’t take much time
The lines are getting blurry,
from the tears that I’ve been holding back
& I hate to ask

Hey highway
I’m half a mile from my place
And I can feel his memory coming up
& these wheels ain’t fast enough
To get to my driveway
Before my broken heart breaks
I’ll be breaking down by
the time this song is over
So hey highway
I think I need a shoulder

I don’t have his to lean on anymore
So I guess I’ll just have to lean on yours

Hey highway
I’m half a mile from my place
And I can feel his memory coming up
& these wheels ain’t fast enough
To get to my driveway
Before my broken heart breaks
I’ll be breaking down by
the time this song is over
So before I lose ahold
of my composure
Hey highway
I think I need a shoulder

I sure could use a shoulder
