Nothin' but the Taillights Lyrics

Blue Kentucky highway headin' for the line
She hadn't said a word all night but the wheels are turnin' in her mind
Now I was ridin' shotgun and I knew things had gone awry
Just as soon as she dropped me off at the side of the road and she let that gravel fly

Now I'm walkin' in the moonlight seein' nothin' but the taillights
And that's a pair of taillights I may never see again
She hit me with the left and right showin' me nothin' but the taillights
And that's about as lonely as the highway's ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind


Was it somethin' that I did to her or the things I never said
I wonder if the way we were was only in my head
Now if I even make it back to town before the sun comes up
I'm gonna hit every parking spot around 'til I find that pick-up truck

Now I'm talkin' in the moonlight seein' nothin' but the taillights
And that's a pair of taillights I may never see again
She hit me with the left and right showin' me nothin' but the taillights
And that's about as lonely as a highway's ever been
Stuck here with my thumb out in the wind

Well I'll bet right now she's laughin' at how she brought me to my knees
But she won't be laughin' half as loud when she gives me back my keys

She'll be walkin' in the moonlight seein' nothin' but the taillights
And that's a pair of taillights she won't ever see again
She hit me with a left and right and with nothin' but the taillights
And I know that's about as lonely as a highway's ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind

There she goes Here I come
