Lyrics The Magnetic Fields

The Magnetic Fields

Lonely Highway

I'm never going back to Jackson

I couldn't bear to show my face

I nearly killed you with my drinking

Wouldn't be caught dead in that place

Lonely highway, only friend

You've got me to keep you warm again

Lonely highway, don't you cry

Let me hold you in my arms tonight

And as I hurdled down the highway

Past the factories and the graves

I think of all the years I've wasted

I think of all the years I've saved

Lonely highway, only friend

You've got me to keep you warm again

Lonely highway, don't you cry

Let me hold you in my arms tonight
