Been down that long, lonesome highway
As far as I could go till I outrun your memory
I can't go home 'cause I can't face another day alone
Now that you're gone, this ain't no place for me

I want to start all anew
But I can't lose these lonesome highway blues
Been down that long, lonesome highway
As far as I can go till I outrun your memory

Been down that long, lonesome highway
As fast as I can fly, just wanna go to someplace you won't be
And I'm movin' on to a new place and hold my head up high
Where no one knows what you done to me

A thousand miles between us now
And still somehow these blues will track me down
That long, lonesome highway
As far as I can go till I outrun your memory

Been down that long, lonesome highway
'Cause it's the only place I know, ain't no clouds hanging over me
Leave me alone 'cause it's a long way
No matter where I go, the blues as far as I can see

I wish I had you back again
But I know I can't, so I here I go again
Been down that long, lonesome highway
As far as I can go till I outrun your memory
