Time was
We couldn't wait to feel each other's touch
Couldn't stand to be apart too long or too much
But now's a diff'rent situation
Funny how love can start to fade
How fast it goes from boom to bust
Well, if I had my choice
We'd part as friends
But it ain't up to me
You told me to go where it don't snow
Well, if that's how it's gonna be
Just gimme two rails of steel
Silver wings or eighteen wheels
This ain't the first time in my life
I been sent packin' with my pride
All I need's a blacktop road
Don't even matter where I go
The moon an' stars will keep me company till the dawn
An' when the sun comes up we'll both be glad I'm gone
So you can keep your Dear John letter if it's all the same to you
I've read the writin' on the wall
We're through
Your words of consolation
Your self-righteous indignation
Sound more like lies
To tell the truth
Feels good, I guess
To get it off my chest
Before I up an' leave
So you can save your sermon for someone else
Instead of wastin' it on me
Just gimme two rails of steel
Silver wings or eighteen wheels
This ain't the first time in my life
I been sent packin' with my pride
All I need's a blacktop road
Don't even matter where I go
The moon an' stars will keep me company till the dawn
An' when the sun comes up we'll both be glad I'm gone
Just gimme two rails of steel
Silver wings or eighteen wheels
This ain't the first time in my life
I been sent packin' with my pride
All I need's a blacktop road
Don't even matter where I go
The moon an' stars will keep me company till the dawn
And when the sun comes up we'll both be glad I'm gone
Glad I'm gone
