lyrics

Life on the highway takes a toll on me, that I cannot explain,
I drive a thousand miles, then I lay down, get up, and do it again.
There's a picture of a young girl in my rearview mirror, but I ain't looking back.
Thinking to myself "goddamn" there ain't many women, ain't too many women like that.

But when the lights, in my rearview disappear,
and my headlights are the only thing I know,
how I would wish, that I had that one girl near,
but I am married to, I am married to, I am married to the road

The roadsigns know my sorrows and they know where I am going better than I,
and they'll be here when I'm gone, to guide the weary travelers that pass by.
The yellow line is fading like a station on the AM radio,
but I'm thinking about Austin, and why it is that I had to go.

But when the lights, in my rearview disappear,
and my headlights are the only thing I know,
how I would wish, that I had that one girl near,
But I am married to, I am married to, I am married to the road.
