lyrics

When my memory fades to her sad weary face it takes all my strength to keep myself from crying
But somehow she'll understand that I had to be a man, that's why I took a job and started driving.
But the factory closed down, and so did half the town and the bill collectors called me every payday
And the housing market sucks and I'm stuck here in this truck, watching as the world passes by me

And it keeps me away from my home, Someday I know I'll settle down, never more to roam
And she keeps calling out my name, she says I'll never find it here on the lost highway


Now the nights are so long and the miles pass along as I think about the home that I am missing
On the radio I hear a voice singing clear, bout the woman left behind he should be kissing
But the truck stops up ahead, and the speed traps further yet, and the diesel prices just keep getting
higher
So I'll pull off to the side, cus I'm going out my mind, trying not to die of my desire
And it keeps me away from my home, Someday I know I'll settle down, never more to roam
And she keeps calling out my name, she says I'll never find it here on the lost highway


All the time that I once had, that I'm sure I took for granted, run together like the highways double
line
And the last words that she said, they echo through my head like the distant vision of an exit sign
Through the desert and the rain, through the heartbreak and the pain, this road gets longer every day.
Hitching up in El Paso, Driving through New Mexico, let the river guide me up to Santa Fe.

And it keeps me away from my home, Someday I know I'll settle down, never more to roam
And she keeps calling out my name, she says I'll never find it here on the lost highway

And it keeps me away from my home I know this time I'll settle down never more to roam
And she keeps begging me to stay, this time I may just find myself on the lost highway.
