Lost love on the highway.....................

 

Music and lyrics by Jason Bennett

guitars, banjo and backing vocals by Brian Irwin.

 

I-25, Walsenburg line

I left you the flowers, but I took the wine

Sundown is hanging by a thread

I still can’t believe all those things that you said

 

And it’s all that I can do

To keep my hands at ten and two

Honey how many miles

‘til I forget about you?

 

How many miles

‘til I forget about you?

 

Got the pedal to the floor

Hear the hummin’ of the wheels

I ain’t got the time

To make any deals

 

The highway signs

Are all pointing west

And the Arizona line

Is a day away at best

 

And it’s all that I can do

To keep my hands at ten and two

Honey how many miles

‘til I forget about you?

 

So take away your Shakespeare

Take away Rimbaud

Those sugarcoated lines

Don’t cut it anymore

 

The Western skyline

Is a comin- on strong

One more tank of gas

And I’ll be long gone

 

And it’s all that I can do

To keep my hands at ten and two

Honey how many miles

‘til I forget about you?
