I'm driving this long dusty highway It's not easy this life but its my way Now the Rio grand valley slips out of sight I know I'll be with you tonight I see birds flying high in the sky And beautiful bush mountains passing by What I wouldn't give just to have you here To see the sights that I sure my dear Time passes slowly not having you here But the West Texas highway is bringing me near As this lonesome long journey drifts out of sight I know I'll be with you tonight Time passes slowly not having you here But the West Texas highway is bringing me near Yes time passes slowly not having you here But the west Texas highway is bringing me near
