Steve Earle, The Del McCoury Band - Long, Lonesome Highway Blues lyrics

[Steve Earle, The Del McCoury Band - Long, Lonesome Highway Blues lyrics]

Been down that long, lonesome highway
As far as I could go
Till I outrun your memory
I can't go home 'cause
I can't face another day alone
Now that you're gone
This ain't no place for me

I want to start all anew
But, I can't lose these
Lonesome highway blues
Been down that long, lonesome highway
As far as I can go till I outrun your memory

Been down that long, lonesome highway
As fast as I can fly
Just wanna go to someplace you won't be
And I'm movin' on to a new place
And hold my head up high
Where no one knows what you done to me
A thousand miles between us now
And still somehow these blues
Will track me down
That long, lonesome highway
As far as I can go till I outrun your memory

Been down that long, lonesome highway
'Cause it's the only place I know
Ain't no clouds hanging over me
Leave me alone 'cause it's a long way
No matter where I go
The blues as far as I can see

I wish I had you back again
But, I know I can't, so I here I go again
Been down that long, lonesome highway
As far as I can go till I outrun your memory
