Long, Lonesome Highway Blues

Steve Earle


Bound down that long, lonesome highway just as far as I can go 
'Til 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 over new 
But I can't lose these lonesome highway blues 
Down that long, lonesome highway just as far as I can go 
'Til I outrun your memory 

Bound down that long, lonesome highway just as fast as I can fly 
Just wanna go to someplace you won't be 
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 some how 
These blues'll track me down 
Down that long, lonesome highway just as far as I can go 
'Til I outrun your memory 

I'm bound down that long lonesome highway 'cause it's the only place I know 
Where there ain't no clouds hangin' over me 
Leave me alone 'cause it's a long way no matter where I go 
Nothin' but blues as far as I can see 
I wish I had you back again 
But I know I can't 
So here I go again 
Down that long, lonesome highway just as far as I can go 
'Til I outrun your memory
