Nothin' But The Taillights

Blue Kentucky highway headin' for the line

She hadn't said a word all night

But the wheels are turnin' in her mind

Now I was ridin' shotgun

And I knew things had gone awry

Just as soon as she dropped me off At the side of the road

And she let that gravel fly

Now I'm walkin' in the moonlight Seein' nothin' but the taillights

And that's a pair of taillights I may never see again

She hit me with the left and right

Showin' me nothin' but the taillights

And that's about as lonely As the highway's ever been

Back here with my thumb out in the wind

Was it somethin' that I did to her

Or the things I never said

I wonder if the way we were was only in my head

Now if I even make it back to town

Before the sun comes up

I'm gonna hit every parking spot around

'Til I find that pick-up truck

Now I'm talkin' in the moonlight

Seein' nothin' but the taillights

And that's a pair of taillights I may never see again

She hit me with the left and right

Showin' me nothin' but the taillights

And that's about as lonely As a highway's ever been

Stuck here with my thumb out in the wind

Well I'll bet right now she's laughin'

At how she brought me to my knees

But she won't be laughin' half as loud

When she gives me back my keys

Now I'm walkin' in the moonlight Seein' nothin' but the taillights

And that's a pair of taillights I may never see again

She hit me with the left and right

Showin' me nothin' but the taillights

And that's about as lonely As the highway's ever been

Back here with my thumb out in the wind
