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
