[Verse 1]
I'm never ever going back to Jackson
I couldn't bear to show my face
I nearly k**ed you with my drinking
Wouldn't be caught dead in that place
[Chorus]
Lonely highway, only friend
You got me to keep you warm again
Lonely highway, don't you cry
Let me hold you in my arms tonight
[Verse 2]
And as I barreled down the highway
Past the factories and the graves
I think of all the years I've wasted
I think of all the years I've saved
[Chorus]
