Here I am just flying down the highway Wondering if it's where I ought to be As free as any bird up in the skyway Wishing you were sitting here with me All the angry words that I threw at you to hurt Have left their scars upon my troubled mind So I'm taking all my pride on a long and lonely ride Leaving my heart somewhere behind. Stopped off at store along the highway Bought a bottle just to ease the pain Now I'm flying past whatever gets in my way Sucking down the whisky like a drain My face is feeling numb, so I guess the time has come To pull off by the road to clear my head Maybe if I wait until I really can't think straight I'll turn around and head back home instead Don't look for me no more, I won't be coming back Unless I left some things behind that I forgot to pack 'Cause I'm flying down that long and lonesome highway Thinking of the things I hate to leave... Like all the love we once shared in a fine way And everything you've come to mean to me As I pull off the road, I can hear a car horn blow And I look to see who's stopping here with me And I can't believe it's true, but I can see it's you Who's come to take me back where I should be Now here we are just flying down the highway Headed back to where we ought to be
