South On Sixty-Five
Headin' South on Sixty-Five
Can't believe I'm still alive
Gotta find a way to get you off my mind
I've been up and down these roads
Where I'm goin' I don't know
I see your face on every highway sign
Said goodbye in Tennessee
You made a mem'ry out of me
but, we can't leave not well enough alone
Mile after mile that passes by
all I do is wonder why
These eighteen wheels are takin' me back home
The call came in at half past ten
There you are alone again
with nothin' but the TV set turned on
I know just what you have in mind
It's the same ole story all the time
You need a man when the man you love is gone
Loneliness is a two-way street
Don't think that I'll fall at your feet
I still recall the words you had to say
It wasn't all that long ago
Why you left me I don't know
but, far from you is where I wanna stay
The game you play is way too rough
Do believe I've had enough
You don't ever wanna do me right
Fare thee well is all you said
Pretty words from your pretty head
but, pretty words can't keep me warm at night
You're a danger to this heart of mine
There's that city limit sign
tellin' me I got ten more miles to go
Diesel smoke on a sky of blue
You don't know what you put me through
All I want is the love we used to know
Drivin' on all through the night
You'll be gone by the morning light
There's nothin' much that I can take along
You're a memory from my lonesome past
A part of me that's gonna last
Can you please tell me where our love went wrong
These four walls are closin' in
I won't be comin' back again
now that you found somebody new
When loneliness takes hold of you
and, there's nothin' else that you can do
pick up the phone and let me hear from you
