Leaving California She is on my mind I left her back in Travis county Cryin' to a clothesline A Steel guitar on the radio Is cuttin' slow and mean. I brought home the bottle She just wanted beans Highways and heartaches Go together like you and me Do you ever think about it When the night is sad and lonely ♪ I wonder if she's watchin' TV Cryin' with Soap Opera Stars I wonder if she sees them in me And if we gone too far Look at all the Lovers Runnin' from their past Gassin' up just to get somewhere Goin' nowhere fast Highways and heartaches Go together like you and me Do you ever think about it When the night is sad and lonely Do you ever think about me When the night is sad and lonely Do you ever think about me When the night is sad and lonely ♪ Runnin' away don't stop the pain It just delays the cryin' What's left unsaid is better swallowed Than covered up with lyin' Though the song is over I still hear the steel guitar And though the past is gone for good It still helps to swallow hard Highways and heartaches Go together like you and me Do you ever think about it When the night is sad and lonely ♪ Do you ever think about it When the night is sad and lonely Do you ever think about it When the night is sad and lonely
