The highway is a lonely place When you can't get back home And it goes on to no one Lights move at a steady pace A moment here and gone And they go on forever, they go on You can't see much in front of you Further down the road Leaving is the only way to know Lights shine on a solid line Keep it straight and true Cause it goes on without you I pass by your exit sign Oh a time or two And I go on like you asked me to But I can't see much in front of me Further down the road Leaving is the only way to know I see you in the highways of my mind I feel you sitting by my side Singing leaving is the only way to know Leaving is the only way to know
