On the road without a friend

Can make you feel life's loneliness

In a voice that rides the wind

Streaming 'cross the airwaves

In a simple country song

The one that you don't hear

Until the moon is full



It was Texas once again

The one about the good ol' boy

Who's caught rememberin'

Images of childhood

And the places that he'd been

Caught up in his questions

Wonderin' where it would end



Another midnight on the highway

Dallas in the distance

Seems I'm always leavin' love behind

Singin' along with someone

Who's soul is on the radio

Sounds like me and the good ol' boy

Are two of a kind



Bedding down in a cheap motel

Puts you in touch with an emptiness

That players know too well

It comes on strong when you drop your boots

And sit up on the bed

And try to keep your thoughts from dancing

'Round the room



So you fumble with a line

'Til you hear that melody

Singing sad and sweet

And there you are again with him

Somewhere down the line

You're feelin' just a little bit better

When you hear his guitar whine



Another midnight on the highway

Dallas in the distance

Seems I'm always leavin' love behind

Singin' along with someone

Who's soul is on the radio

Sounds like me and the good ol' boy

Are two of a kind
