On A long stretch of empty highway
With heavy eyes on a winding road
Pulled off to the side
Heard the gunshots go and go
Then drove back into the night all alone
Sunshine she must have left me
Cause I'll see now are buckets of rain
Rolled down both my windows
Thought I saw you dancing there
Underneath the moonlight this I swear
Don't stay up late
Don't wait too long
We'll all get back to where we belong
Devil on my left
Sweetest angel on my right
40 miles to go, but I'll be all right
Traveled down meant for strangers
Met a man who plays for pennies every night
Slams a mean guitar
Hits notes higher than the sky
Yet somehow he only made me feel sad inside
I can go for miles on a spring breeze
With the smell of flowers filling up the air
Go down to the river look into the waters glare
I can see my reflection not who is there
Don't stay up late
Don't cry too long
We'll get back to where we belong
Staring down the road like a barrel of a gun
Only 40 miles to go and then I'm done
