My love is like an old turnpike
And your hurtin me has taken its toll.
If my heart was a highway
Our love would be a oneway road
It seems that loving you was just a dead end road.
I tried to park my heart but had my tenderness towed.
I would drive all night just to change your mind
I'd love to throw the hammer down and let this rig unwind
I feel like a hitchhiker standing on the shoulder,
Soakin out in the rain but only colder.
My heart's in a pile-up that'd make the evening news
And there aint a motor car around that could take this abuse
She went and built me up and then she dropped me
I was a hot rod now some ol jalopy.
My motors tired and my gears are worn
As I try and pop the clutch she just lays on the horn
