My car’s in for a brake job Be ready in a while Something about the waitress Made me think about your smile I tip her a ten spot And I try to read her name I’m just an old long hauler A grinder at the game
Heaven knows the highways Since we’ve been apart But my heart don’t feel like leaving Or you won’t leave my heart Now and then I might take A little something for pain But there’s nothing much for heartache And my heart has never changed My heart has never changed
Now there’s no more rough and tumble Down Highway 199 Nothing lasts forever I just miss it sometimes
She comes to pour more coffee But it’s time to see more world I pick up my check and keys And go and pay the girl My mind’s in Hell’s Half Acre And the rooms along Exchange And the scenes are always shifting But my heart has never changed My heart has never changed
