BILLY GIBBONS
"I Was A Highway"

Well, we used to share a sidewalk walking hand in hand
I never had no worries, she said I was her man
We made it to the corner, yeah, we came but there she goes
You'd think I was a highway the way she hit the road

[Chorus:]
You'd think I was a highway the way she hit the road
Thought she's going my way, then tires turned to smoke
She left me on the rumble strip a hundred miles from home
You'd think I was a highway the way she hit the road

I found a fancy avenue, I thought I'd win her heart
But I'd been drinking heavy, that's when it fell apart
I chased her down that alley thinking I could get her back
But she ditched her heels for four fast wheels and threw me off the track

[Chorus:]
You'd think I was a highway the way she hit the road
Thought she's going my way, then tires turned to smoke
She left me on the rumble strip a hundred miles from home
You'd think I was a highway the way she hit the road

[Bridge:]
You'd think I was a highway
The way she hit the road
And I thought she's going my way
Then tires turned to smoke

[Chorus:]
You'd think I was a highway the way she hit the road
Thought she's going my way, then tires turned to smoke
She left me on the rumble strip a hundred miles from home
You'd think I was a highway the way she hit the road

[Outro:]
Yeah
