leave my heartache behind

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
