Lyrics
Standing by the windowsill, I recognize that look in your eyes
I’ve seen it many times before, and now I know you’re saying good-bye
Now baby, I have known you well, and I know what you’re all about
You never want to take the time, and now you think it’s time to get out
It’s funny how the years go by, and everything you thought you knew
Gets tangled up in all the rest, and all the rest get tangled up, too
See baby, now I understand how you say you gotta move on
But honey, just between you an me, I know you’re already gone
And I’d go with you, baby, but I know that you ain’t coming back
Baby on the highway, the dust never settles down
Baby on the highway, the dust never hits the ground
It just rides up toward the sky like sparks from a fire
Baby on the highway, we just ride higher and higher
Subtlety is all you have, when you try to lie below
Standing with you back to the wall, you think there’s no place left for you to go
I’m doubting this will change your mind, but baby if you want to leave
I’m thinking you won’t like what you find, and I’ve got tricks still up my sleeve
And I’d go with you, baby, but I know that you ain’t coming back
Yeah I’d go with you, baby, but I know that I’ve got to stay on track
Baby on the highway, the dust never settles down
Baby on the highway, the dust never hits the ground
It just rides up toward the sky like sparks from a fire
Baby on the highway, we just ride higher and higher
