You and I spent so many nights

Feeling alone lying side by side

I take a last look and I say goodnight

Blow you a kiss and turn out the light

Guess this time I won't be coming back

I'll leave the key under the welcome mat

It's a little after midnight

And the winding road ahead looks black

I'm driving with one headlight

And the signs are saying don't turn back

Tears are filling up my eyes

I'm trying to stay between the lines

Can't waste another day living a lie

I'm on Highway 59 and It's leading to goodbye

I see the weeping willow disappear

In our front yard through the rear view mirror

These country roads that brought me home for years

Now are taking me away from here

Heading over red mountain pass

I hope to make Montgomery before I run out of gas

It's a little after midnight

And the winding road ahead looks black

I'm driving with one headlight

And the signs are saying don't turn back

Tears are filling up my eyes

I'm trying to stay between the lines

Can't waste another day living a lie

I'm on Highway 59 and It's leading to goodbye

Two lovers holding on and wasting time

Thirsty for love but the wells run dry
