Nothing but the Taillights Lyrics

Blue Kentucky highway
Headin' for the line
She hasn't said a word all night
But the wheels are turning in her mind
Now I was ridin' shotgun
And I knew things had gone a wry
Just as soon as she dropped me off at the side of the road
And she let that gravel fly!

Now I'm walking in the moonlight
Seein' nothing but the taillights
And that's a pair of taillights I may never see again
She hit me with the left and right
Showing me nothing but the taillights
That's about as lonely as the highway has ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind

Was it something that I did to her
Or the things I never said
I wonder if the way 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
'Till I find that pick-up truck!

Now I'm talking in the moonlight
Seein' nothing but the taillights
That's a pair of taillights I may never see again
She hit me with the left and right
Showing me nothing but the taillights
That's about as lonely as the highway has ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind

Well, I look right now
She's laughing at how
She brought me to my knees
But she won't be laughing half as loud
when she gives me back my keys!

She'll be walking in the moonlight,
Seein' nothing but the taillights,
That's a pair of taillights she won't ever see again,
She hit me with the left and right,
And with nothing but the taillights,
I know that's about as lonely as the highway has ever been,
Back here with my thumb out in the wind

Spoken:
There she goes,
Here I come!
Leave me out here in the middle of nowhere, drive this!

Funny breakup song. A real pick me up if you've recently gotten out of a relationship. Hopefully if yours ended as badly, that you'll also get the last laugh.

I'd never throw someone out-especially out of their own truck. I'd get out,thank you ;)
