Nothin' but the Taillights - Live

Blue Kentucky highway, headin' for the line

She hadn't said a word all night

But the wheels were turnin' in her mind

I was ridin' shotgun and I knew things were gonna run

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 a left and a right

Showed me nothin' but the taillights

And that's about as lonely as a 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 parkin' 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 a left and a right

Now I have nothin' but the taillights

And that's about as lonely as a highway's ever been

Back here with my thumb out in the wind

Well, I 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 hands 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 a right

Now I have 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

Aw, but here I come
