lyrics

Well highway 70-West is your spot
If you like your god on billboards
And your sex in shops
And them golden arches and oversized trucks
I'll be in Denver in a day and I can't stop

I stopped in Kansas at a railroad hotel
Everyone's eyeballin me and it's hot as hell
My body's shakin bad, yea, I'm all shot
And I got miles in the morning and I can't stop, I can't stop

I can't stop thinking about you
And all the trouble ya been through
And how you loved me anyway
My friends tell me that I should forget you
But I can't and I don't want to
I'll take our worst over my best day
Out here on the highway

Stopped in the boomtowns on my way out to see
If you're still the man that's been doggin' me
You're looking fine, and I think I'm right where I belong
And I'm not blinking 'til the morning cause I thought you were all gone

I couldn't stop thinking about you
And all the trouble ya been through
And how you loved me anyway
My friends tell me that I should forget you
But I can't and I don't want to
I'll take our worst over my best day
Out here on the highway

I swear you were born going 75
And you'll keep going a long, long time
I wanna be there, hell yea I wanna ride
But I can't feel the wheels from the passenger side, I can't...

No I can't stop thinking about you
And all the trouble ya been through
And how you loved me anyway
And I still pray you do
My friends tell me that I should forget you
But who are they to start listening to yea
I'll take our worst over my best day
Out here on the highway
Out here on the highway
