The hardest thing I've ever done
Is say
goodbye to you.
But even though I love you baby,
I know you can't be true.
I
walked down that country road
Out to the big highway
I caught a ride on an
eighteen-wheeler
And I'm takin' it all the way.
Takin' all these blues to the
highway
Tryin' to get her out of my mind.
When I'm out on the open road
With the
wind in my face,
I'll leave my heartache behind.
Raindrops on my window,
Teardrops from my eyes,
I thought our love was sacred
Now I know that's just a
lie.
So I pack my suitcase
And head out that old front door.
Better take a long
last look now baby
'Cuz I won't be back no more.
Takin' all these blues to the
highway
Tryin' to get her out of my mind.
When I'm out on the open road
With the
wind in my face
I'll leave my heartache behind.
