Blue Kentucky highway, headin' for the line
She hasn't said a word all night, but the wheels are turnin' in her mind
Now, I was ridin' shotgun, an' I knew things had gone awry
Just as soon as she dropped me off at the side of the road, an' she let that gravel fly
Chorus 1:
(Now, I'm walkin'/I'm talkin') in the moonlight
Seein' nothin' but the tailights
An' that's a pair of tailights I may
Never see again
She hit me with the left and right
Showin' me nothin' but the tailights
An' that's about as lonely as the highway's ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind
Now, was it somethin' that I did to her, or the things I never said
I wonder if the way we were was only in my head
Now, if I even make it back to town, before the sun comes up
I'm gonna hit every parkin' spot around
'Till I find that pickup truck
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
Well, I'll bet right now she's laughin' at how
She can drop me to my knees
Well, she won't be laughin' half as loud
When she gives me back my keys!
Chrous 2:
She'll be walkin' in the moonlight
Seein' nothin' but the tailights
And' that's a pair of tailights she won't
Ever see again
She hit me with the left and right
An' with nothin' but the tailights
I know that's about as lonely as the highway's ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind
"...Leave me out here in the middle o' nowhere...
...Drive this!"
