Soquel Songs (ASCAP)



The hardest thing I've ever done

Is say goodbye to you.

But even though I love you baby,

I know you can't be true.

I walked down that country road

Out to the big highway

I caught a ride on an eighteen-wheeler

And I'm takin' it all the way.



Takin' all these blues to the highway

Tryin' to get her out of my mind.

When I'm out on the open road

With the wind in my face,

I'll leave my heartache behind.



Raindrops on my window,

Teardrops from my eyes,

I thought our love was sacred

Now I know that's just a lie.

So I pack my suitcase

And head out that old front door.

Better take a long last look now baby

'Cuz I won't be back no more.



Takin' all these blues to the highway

Tryin' to get her out of my mind.

When I'm out on the open road

With the wind in my face

I'll leave my heartache behind.
