Blue kentucky highway, headin for the line
She hadnt 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
Chorus
Now Im walkin in the moonlight,
Seein nothin but the taillights
And thats a pair of taillights
I may never see again
She hit me with the left and right,
Showin me nothin but the taillights
And thats about as lonely
As the highways 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
Im gonna hit every parking spot around
til I find that pick-up truck
Chorus
Now Im talkin in the moonlight
Seein nothin but the taillights
And thats a pair of taillights
I may never see again
She hit me with the left and right
Showin me nothin but the taillights
And thats about as lonely
As a highways ever been
Stuck here with my thumb out in the wind
Well Ill bet right now shes laughin
At how she brought me to my knees
But she wont be laughin half as loud
When she gives me back my keys
Chorus
Shell be walkin in the moonlight,
Seein nothin but the taillights
And thats a pair of taillights
She wont ever see again
She hit me with a left and right
And with nothin but the taillights
And I know thats about as lonely
As a highways ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind
There she goes, here I come
