Lyrics:

I'm never going back to Jackson

I couldn't bear to show my face

I nearly killed you with my drinking

Wouldn't be caught dead in that place



Lonely highway, only friend

You've got me to keep you warm again



Lonely highway, don't you cry

Let me hold you in my arms tonight



And as I hurdled down the highway

Passed the factories and the graves

I think of all the years I've wasted

I think of all the years I've saved



Lonely highway, only friend

You've got me to keep you warm again



Lonely highway, don't you cry

Let me hold you in my arms tonight
