THE HIGHWAY BACK
(Music and Lyrics by Matthew Causey)

Lonesome bad road
Half-a-day from Mobile
Windows rolled down
Roaring wind conceals
Highway’s emptiness
Hard luck deals

On that highway back from Natchez
Through the piney woods and hard red clay
I felt my heart was so heavy

The land lay open
The sky was so high
Sadness drifted through
You had to say good-bye

To me,
You were the only one
Your eyes,
Were like two shining suns
If you,
Would only come back home

I wouldn’t hurt you
You wouldn’t cry
I can love you
Let me try

Darkness presses
I turn the headlights on
A haunted radio plays
A Hank William’s song
Now I know why
I’m so lonesome I could cry

On that highway back from Natchez
Through the piney woods and hard red clay
It filled me with a longing

To hold you closely
Your lips next to mine
Sadness is everything
Loneliness is mine

To me,
You were the only one
Your eyes,
Were like two shining suns
If you,
Would only come back home

I wouldn't hurt you
You wouldn’t cry
I can love you
Let me try
