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
She`ll be walkin` in the moonlight,
Seein` nothin` but the taillights
And that`s a pair of taillights
She won`t ever see again
She hit me with a left and right
And with nothin` but the taillights
And I know that`s about as lonely
As a highway`s ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind
There she goes, here I come
