[ Featuring
the Nightmares ]
Hitchin' a ride to the outskirts of town
Cars roar by but I don't hear a sound
Thinking hard about you and me
And why you left so suddenly, well I
Got a ride in a blue Chevrolet
Farmer talking but I don't hear a word he say
Thinking hard about what you said
Those cruel words echo in my head
I feel like I have been
(I feel like I have been)
On this desperate highway so long
(I feel like I have been)
Sure could use a friend
As these white lines string me along
Dropped off in the middle of nowhere
Silence is golden but right now I don't care
Thinking hard about what to say
When I get you face to face, well I
Stopped off at a roadside cafe
Phone's out of order and the jukebox it won't play
But that's okay anyway
It's best I be on my way, well I
I feel like I have been
(I feel like I have been)
On this desperate highway so long
(I feel like I have been)
Sure could use a friend
As these white lines string me along
Finally made it to your door
My body's aching I couldn't have walked anymore
Open that door and you act surprised
Can't we give it one more try, well I
Looked into those big green eyes
Before I know it you hit me with a smile
I'm so glad it didn't end
Before we were lovers you know we were friends
I feel like I have been
(I feel like I have been)
On this desperate highway so long
(I feel like I have been)
Glad I found a friend
'Cause these white lines go on and on
