Walked across the bridge in the middle of the night
Your hands dressed in your pockets and your eyes shut tight
You knew without a doubt what you were gonna do
And that million dollar smile tucked inside your shoe
Was a pretty little ? and a house with a view
She was young easy and so were you
But it all seemed so empty and ? too
You had so much to say but the words were few

Broke you on the highway
Caught in the headlight’s glare
Broke you on the highway
Now turn your head and stare
Broke you on the highway
Caught in the headlight’s glare
Broke you on the highway
You will not be there

Now had a ? bigger ? from the wear
Still you must admit that there was something in the air
In the allegheny river it filled your heart with hate
But all the way they’re leaving you felt that it might break
You knew all the stories like a well worn book
How Jesus walked on waters and all the blood it took
But you always were a drowner your love’s filled up with salt?
But love is not a parable and love is no one’s fault

Broke you on the highway
Caught in the headlight’s glare
Broke you on the highway
Now turn your head and stare
Broke you on the highway
Caught in the headlight’s glare
Broke you on the highway
You will not be there

Chicago is a brawler? mighty and strong
Winter nights above the prairies they can get so long
Crazy Horse and army ghosts they ride the iron range
If you listen close you can hear them sing your name
In the city of Los Angeles I lost you there
To an autograph and a diamond studded prayer
But I don’t regret those things you did to me
Each was just another step toward my getting free

Broke you on the highway
Caught in the headlight’s glare
Broke you on the highway
Now turn your head and stare
Broke you on the highway
Caught in the headlight’s glare
Broke you on the highway
You will not be there
