Capo 3

G5              A5                  C5            D5
Carol took my photograph in the rain at zero mile
G5                  A5                  C5            D5
She promised me a cigarette, and I promised her my best fake smile
G5              A5            C5                        D5
Sittin in the tall grass, wishing we were in another land
G5                  A5            C5               D5
She just lit my cigarette, and took my by the hand

G5              D5
Down that highway
      A5                  C5
It?s takin me away from home
         G5         D5
Down that highway
         A5            C5
The only place feel alone

Me and Carol got married, when we turned 21
And her daddy never like me
To her mother I was the only son
Wooden ghosts and car parts, were scattered through our backyard
Lovin her was the easy to do
Leaving was the only thing hard

I went down that highway
It?s takin me away from home
Down that highway
The only place feel alone

Carol died 5 years ago, giving birth to our only son
And her momma, daddy and me put her in the ground November 21
And sometimes later at night, I sit at our bedroom window
Wishin I was somewhere with her 
Just waitin for the wind to blow us,

Down that highway
It?s takin me away from home
Down that highway
The only place feel alone
Down that highway
Feels like its got no end
Down that highway
The white line is your only friend

Down that highway
Down that highway
