lyrics

Highway Song # 1

She sells roses by the roadside
Out on the highway
She drives a lift back with a broken rear guard
That’s rusted and all fucked up

Saturday she’s wearing an old patterned dress,
That she bought at a 2nd hand store in her hometown
I ask her if she’s married and she says yes
She don’t own no ring but that don’t mean nothin’ she says
Just points to her chest

CHORUS
Oh love will find you out in the end
Till you’re gone and you can’t get back again

So I just drove faster like I could outrun
The memories that chased me down that highway
One day may they bring me home
And I know where I’m headed is risky and sad
But that sky will stop falling if you want it to
And that rain one day will pass

Oh love will find you out in the end
Till you’re gone and you can’t get back again

So we sit out on her back porch and drink in the night
And when there’s nothing left to drink then we go for a drive
Between the cool evening breeze and her long black hair
I smoke a cigarette and I find me some peace
And I’m happy there

Oh love will find you out in the end
Till you’re gone and you can’t get back again
