I´m never going back to Jackson
I couldn´t bear to show my face
I nearly killed you with my drinking
Wouldn´t be caught dead in that place

Lonely highway, only friend
You´ve got me to keep you warm again

Lonely highway, don´t you cry
Let me hold you in my arms tonight

And as I hurdled down the highway
Past the factories and the graves
I think of all the years I´ve wasted
I think of all the years I´ve saved

Lonely highway, only friend
You´ve got me to keep you warm again

Lonely highway, don´t you cry
Let me hold you in my arms tonight
