[Verse 1] I'm never ever going back to Jackson I couldn't bear to show my face I nearly killed 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
