Hey Highway

Most days, I can pull myself together till I make it home

Since he's been gone

I take the longer way around this town so I won't see his truck

And it's just my luck

That the radio started playing old Keith Whitley

I was doing fine until the chorus hit me

Hey highway, I'm half a mile from my place

And I can feel his memory coming up

And these wheels ain't fast enough

To get to my driveway before my broken heart breaks

I'll be breaking down by the time this song is over

So hey highway, I think I need a shoulder

I'm no stranger to the pain, just need a safer place to cry

It won't take much time

The lines are getting blurry from the tears that I've been holding back

I hate to ask

Hey highway, I'm half a mile from my place

And I can feel his memory coming up

And these wheels ain't fast enough

To get to my driveway before my broken heart breaks

I'll be breaking down by the time this song is over

So hey highway, I think I need a shoulder

I don't have his to lean on anymore

So I guess I'll just have to lean on yours

Hey highway, I'm half a mile from my place

And I can feel his memory coming up

And these wheels ain't fast enough

To get to my driveway before my broken heart breaks

I'll be breaking down by the time this song is over

So before I lose a hold of my composure

Hey highway, I think I need a shoulder

I sure could use a shoulder
