Lyrics:

(Emmylou Harris Paul Kennerley) It seems like I was there from the start A witness to your wild and reckless heart You showed me the way but now you're gone Quicker than the trigger of an outlaw's gun Living fast and dying young A victim of this road you left me on White line took my baby Led him down that dark highway Headlight blind driving crazy If my wheels keep turning Gonna roll that white line away We worked the road as hard as we could drive her But now I am the only survivor From night to night at every place I play in The sweetness of your song remains I'll be the keeper of the flame Til every soul hears what your heart was saying White line took my baby Led him down that dark highway Headlight blind driving crazy If my wheels keep turning Gonna roll that white line away All the nights you spent alone All the love I'd never shown All the words I could not say Till that white line took you away White line took you away I'll follow this white line down where it's winding Cause somewhere up ahead your light's still shining The sound of the silver strings will guide me I've stood and watched the bridges burn I'm past the point of no return Oh how I wish that you were here beside me
