Here I am just flying down the highway
Wondering if it's where I ought to be
As free as any bird up in the skyway
Wishing you were sitting here with me
All the angry words that I threw at you to hurt
Have left their scars upon my troubled mind
So I'm taking all my pride on a long and lonely ride
Leaving my heart somewhere behind.
Stopped off at store along the highway
Bought a bottle just to ease the pain
Now I'm flying past whatever gets in my way
Sucking down the whisky like a drain
My face is feeling numb, so I guess the time has come
To pull off by the road to clear my head
Maybe if I wait until I really can't think straight
I'll turn around and head back home instead
Don't look for me no more, I won't be coming back
Unless I left some things behind that I forgot to pack
'Cause I'm flying down that long and lonesome highway
Thinking of the things I hate to leave...
Like all the love we once shared in a fine way
And everything you've come to mean to me
As I pull off the road, I can hear a car horn blow
And I look to see who's stopping here with me
And I can't believe it's true, but I can see it's you
Who's come to take me back where I should be
Now here we are just flying down the highway
Headed back to where we ought to be
