Life After Lovin' You

(albüm: Highways & Heartaches - 2000)

Black coffee and her cigarettes
Another day I'd just soon forget
Doing time with all my old regrets
Running down another sunset
Albuquerque by midnight
Found myself some neon lights
Strong whiskey and a bar fight
On the road again at sunrise

And these highways and heartaches
Losing games and bad breaks
Run down and always running out of room
It's these, near misses and high stakes
Out of luck, and out of place
A dollar short and a day late
Nothing left to lose
Oh girl, it ain't nothing new
Just my life after loving you

Truckstop, I'm pulling in
Check the map and hit the road again
Cause, in the rear view looking in
I wish I had some coulda beens

And these, highways and heartaches
Losing games and bad breaks
Run down and always running out of room
It's these, near misses and high stakes
Out of luck, and out of place
A dollar short and a day late
Nothing left to lose
Girl, it ain't nothing new
Just my life after loving you

Somewhere this road getting over you
Has gotta end
Someday I'll find someplace I can turn around
But for now

It's gonna be, highways and heartaches
Losing games and bad breaks
Run down and always running out of room
It's these, near misses and high stakes
Out of luck, and out of place
A dollar short and a day late
Nothing left to lose
Girl, it ain't nothing new
Just my life after loving you
Girl, it ain't nothing new
