Heartache Highway

(album: If I Could Make A Living - 1994)

The sun's reflecting off the city limit sign
I better keep moving before I change my mind
Looking in the rearview mirror
Coming home didn't make it clearer
I didn't wanna hear her say goodbye

Heartache Highway why didn't I say
What she wanted to hear
Why must the most important words go unspoken
Heartache Highway now it's too late

To ever change her mind
Oh, it's a hell of a road
When you're leaving heaven behind

Memories of her dance in my headlights
As I'm riding my pain into the night
Heading for the next horizon
Watching the full moon rising
Gotta keep on driving going nowhere on this

Heartache Highway why didn't I say
What she wanted to hear
Why must the most important words go unspoken

Heartache Highway now it's too late
To ever change her mind
Oh, it's a hell of a road
When you're leaving heaven behind

Oh, it's a hell of a road
When you're leaving heaven behind
