Too Many Highways

Lyrics
She whispered I love you and come back to me As I climbed up inside of this old Diamond T Could have been a doctor or a lawyer by trade But that ain't the choice that I made The life of a skinner gets under your skin Too many highways and I'm leaving again She could have been famous up on the screen or on stage But that ain't the choice that she made Too many highways, too many byways Too many canyons and too many turns Too many bright lights, too many long nights And she's one bridge I don't want to burn I hate to leave her with tears in her eyes The longer I leave her the harder she cries God it beats working but driving's a chore I don't have a choice any more Like snow on the mountains and ice in the curbs Leaving her lonely is sure hell on her nerves If I can't take her with me, I can't take the load A man needs a friend on the road Too many highways, too many byways Too many canyons and too many turns Too many bright lights, too many long nights And she's one bridge I don't want to burn
