When She Leaves You

This highway's like a girl I knew

You climb into her car

She takes you many places

She leaves you where you are

Her ribbons are all a tangle

Her breath is long and fast

But if you're only tryin' to pass the time

Her love will never last

This highway's like a girl I knew

Who walks you to her door

She teases you with lovin' arms

And promises you more

And then one day she walks away

Says she ain't goin' far

She takes you many places

But she leaves you where you are

This highway's like a girl I knew

Who had your very soul

But you tried to get too close to her

To have and to hold

Days and nights you chase her

With your bag and your guitar

She takes you many places

But she leaves you where you are

She takes you many places

But she leaves you where you are
