Stephin Merritt - Lonely Highway lyrics

[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]
