Great Highway Lyrics

Don't mind bein' lonesome (© Doug Smith, 2001)

The dusty road, it turns away
It bends it winds it curves
I see you comin' the other way
You hit the gas and rattle my nerves

Will you let me ride,
or kick the dust up in my face?
Are you on my side,
or are you in some other place?

Chorus:
'Cause I don't mind bein' lonesome
Don't mind bein' alone
Don't mind bein' lonesome
that's the place that I call home.

If I drift away far from shore,
will you let me drown?
Will you pick me up from the bottom of the well.
or will you let me down?

I don't have much to give
but what I've got's already yours
I don't mind if you leave me
'cause when it rains, it pours

(Chorus)

Bridge:
As you roll through town
the tires squeal
Leavin' tracks all over my heart
A Cheshire smile from behind the wheel
I knew it right from the start

I do the best I can to give you what you want
but my best ain't good enough
The sun is high and the day is long
and the road is rocky and rough

Something's pushing me on
and my feet are falling in your tracks
when I get to where I'm goin',
are you gonna turn me back?

(Chorus)
