Lyrics:

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
