There's a curve in the highway, just south of town

where a man has pulled over to figure life out

with only his concience and the lonesome sound

of diesels winding up grade

he's got a wife and two kids, and they love him so

he's got a woman down in georgia, and she's startin' to show

he's damned if he leaves her, and he's sure damned if he don't

and he wonders how life got this way

cuase it's a fine line in between right and wrong

yea he's been crossing over that border way too long

he should've seen it coming at him right from the start

now there aint' no escape from a broken heart

now the call of the highway is a powerful thing

like the pull of a lover, or a child in a swing

gave his heart to two women only one wears his ring

they're both gonna have his babies now

so how do you confess, what words don't explain

he never intended to cause this much pain

now he feels like a farmer who went praying for the rain

got more than he bargained from the clouds

[chorus]

he'll turn his car around tonight, go home and try to face the truth

everyone involved's getting hurt, now there aint nothing he can do

[chorus]
