There's a curve in the highway just south of town Where a man has pulled over to figure life out With only his conscience and the lonesome sound Of diesels windin' up the grade He's got a wife and two kids, they love him so And a woman down in Georgia, she startin' to show He's damned if he leaves and he' sure damned if he don't And he wonders how life got this way ('Cause its) A fine line in between right and wrong (Yeah) He's been crossing over that border way too long He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart Now the call of the highway is a powerful thing Like the pull of a lover or a child in a swing He gave his heart to two women, only one wears his ring
They're both gonna have his babies now So how do you confess what words won't explain He never intended to cause this much pain Now he feels like a farmer who went prayin' for rain And got that he bargained from the clouds (And its) [REPEAT Chorus] He'll turn his care around tonight Go home and try to face the truth Everyone involed's getting" hurt And there ain't nothin' he can do He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start Now there ain't no escape, now there ain't no escape From [REPEAT Chorus] Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart Yeah they're all gonna wind up with a broken heart Nobody's getting' out without a broken heart
