I was not born in this town But that ol highway wore me down Days roll by and turn to years I dont know why Im still here He told me he loved me so But there were things hed never know Then one day I said Id stay But hed already turned away I dont know why I gave into to love when it called my name Now Im lonely, the highway dont know me, and loves to blame I swore Id hit the road again And I would not recall a thing But every time I tried to leave Love came tuggin at my sleeve I dont know know why I needed to hear someone call my name Now Im lonely, the highway dont know me, and loves to blame Last night I was fast asleep Pray the lord my soul to keep But I woke up to that highway sound I knew Id never leave this town
