Highway 57, it's the middle of the night

I bet she's sprawled out on her bed, silhouette in the TV light

We never really said goodbye, it just worked out that way

I kissed her lips for one last time and just walked away

No I didn't treat her well, the way that she deserved

Looking back I'd call it love, but I never found the words

The sign ways Champaign 90 and Chicago 213

When I get to where I'm going, I hope there's something left of me

Car pulls in the driveway then it disappears

A broken hearted lover sheds one final tear

Scarecrows judge and jury... staring down my soul

Pierces thru the armor, cuts down to the bone

I've got time to think about my life and the choices that I've made

On this solitary highway, there's no one else to blame

It's flatter than a counter top and the sky's as black as coal

I can't see those golden cornfields, there's nothing here but road

Car pulls in the driveway then it disappears

A broken hearted lover sheds one final tear

Scarecrows judge and jury... staring down my soul

Pierces thru the armor, cuts down to the bone

I see her in my rear view mirror, I feel her in my veins

I push my foot down on the pedal, but I can't get away

Stumbling down this interstate, nothing's really clear

But I know for sure what's done-is-done, it can never be repaired

Car pulls in the driveway then it disappears

A broken hearted lover sheds one final tear

Scarecrows judge and jury... staring down my soul

Pierces thru the armor, cuts down to the bone
