You & Me & the Highway
© 1997 Melody Baldwin-Baroz

You & me & the highway that's the way it's always been
intricate patterns through the souls of small towns
like long red ribbons and broken strands of pearls

On the horizon there's a fork in the road I feel the pull of the bend
this back road is too narrow for the load that I pack
it's here I'll cut my losses and won't look back

You & me & the highway they say all good things must end
You & me & the highway pray our paths will cross again
You & me & the highway...

Sometimes I love you so much and sometimes I hate you so bad
with the cool of dusk a certain kind of peace does fall
but come first light of morning I'm the soul of a wanderer aching for the road's end
