I take my heartache to the highway
On a twilight ride
Got nobody else beside me
Just my self-respect and pride
All is quiet in the desert
Me and love are miles apart
And what I see before me
Is a picture of my heart

'Cause any light on the horizon
Is faded out of view
All the colors now are gone
Except for two
And the sky after a long day
Looks just like my heart after you
Black and blue

Just beyond the mountains
The sun lays low
Like my memories and the darkness
It's time for lettin' go
I'll take comfort in the moonlight
That soon will cover me
But right now the day is dying
And that's as far as I can see

'Cause any light on the horizon
Is faded out of view
All the colors now are gone
Except for two
And the sky after a long day
Looks just like my heart after you
Black and blue

'Cause any light on the horizon
Is faded out of view
All the colors now are gone
Except for two
And the sky after a long day
Looks just like my heart after you
Black and blue

Black and blue
