Lyrics:

Pat Simmons

The hardest thing I’ve ever done
Is say goodbye to you
But even though I love you baby
I know you can’t be true
I walked down that country road
Out to the big highway
I caught a ride on an eighteen wheeler
And I’m takin’ it all the way

Takin’ all these blues to the highway
Tryin’ to get her out of my mind
When I’m out on the open road
With the wind in my face
I’ll leave my heartache behind

Raindrops on my window
Teardrops from my eyes
I thought our love was sacred
Now I know that’s just a lie
So I pack my suitcase
And head out that old front door
Better take a long last look now baby
‘Cuz I won’t be back no more

Takin’ all these blues to the highway
Tryin’ to get her out of my mind
When I’m out on the open road
With the wind in my face
I’ll leave my heartache behind
