The hardest thing I've ever done Is say goodbye to you But even though I love you baby I know you can't be true I walked down that country road Out to the big highway I caught a ride on an eighteen wheeler And I'm takin' it all the way Takin' all these blues to the highway Tryin' to get her out of my mind When I'm out on the open road With the wind in my face I'll leave my heartache behind Raindrops on my window Teardrops from my eyes I thought our love was sacred Now I know that's just a lie So I pack my suitcase And head out that old front door Better take a long last look now baby 'Cuz I won't be back no more Takin' all these blues to the highway Tryin' to get her out of my mind When I'm out on the open road With the wind in my face I'll leave my heartache behind
