I’m rollin’ down another black diamond highway
Another two-lane back road brings me ’round
Another round of white lines, keep on drivin’
Thinkin’ ’bout you back in our hometown
Been gone so long this truckstop feels like home, babe
Knowin’ strangers just by how we’re all alone
Flesh and blood needs a soft touch to keep it warm, love
If left too long, the heart turns cold as stone
And how long have I been gone?
And the road just keeps drivin’ on
I’m puttin’ on them highway miles
Missin’ you all the while
The only way back to you
Is to keep on pushin’ through
So I’m puttin’ on them highway miles
Sun gone down so long ago I don’t remember
Flashin’ white lines hypnotize my mind
No more pills to satisfy my ills, Lord
Driftin’ through the concrete seas of time
Another round of white lines, I keep chasin’
Gas station coffee keeps me high
Smoke a cigarette, now my heart’s racin’
Flashin’ hazzards dance before my eyes
And how long have I been gone?
And the road just keeps windin’ on
I’m puttin’ on them highway miles
Missin’ you all the while
The only way back to you
Is to keep on pushin’ through
So I’m puttin’ on them highway miles
Surgeon General’s warning says it’s hazardous to breath
I’d have another cigarette but, Lord, I can’t see
She comes to me softly, times of trouble over me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be, let it be
And how long have I been gone?
And the road just keeps windin’ on
I’m puttin’ on them highway miles
Missin’ you all the while
The only way back to you
Is to keep on pushin’ through
So I’m puttin’ on them highway miles
I’m puttin’ on them highway miles
Lookin’ for Porter Wagoner on the dial
The only way back to you
Is to keep on pushin’ through
So I’m puttin’ on them highway miles
So I’m puttin’ on them highway miles
I’m puttin’ on another hundred thousand highway miles
