Highways, Heartaches & Honky-Tonks Songtext

von Brian Burns

Well, every night I lay it on the line,
In some old smoky bar.
Got a beat up truck, a ramblin? heart,
And a worn out old guitar.
From the bright lights and big cities,
To the one-horse town cafe,
I don't know where I'm going,
So I never lose my way.

Well, I've got highways, heartaches, and honky-tonks.
I live just the way I want and never ask why.
I've got highways, heartaches, and honky-tonks,
But I'm too old to turn back now and too young to die.

Instrumental break.

Well, the one I loved, she just gave up:
I guess she couldn't see,
That music's not a choice I made;
I believe the choice made me.
An' now, there's Jesus on a billboard sign,
Telling me my time has come.
Is it Heaven that he's pointing toward,
Or Highway 81?

Well, I've got highways, heartaches, and honky-tonks.
I live just the way I want and never ask why.
I've got highways, heartaches, and honky-tonks,
But I'm too old to turn back now and too young to die.
I'm too old to turn back now, too young to die.
