Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Old Ford sitting in the yard Sunlight hitting the hood hard Reached up to block the glare Found a little ghost waiting there Yellowed edge of a thermal roll Tugging at my weary soul [Pre-Chorus] Ink is fading fast away From a Tuesday in late May Ninety-nine cents for a slice Lord, the memory feels nice [Chorus] Two chipped mugs and a pecan pie Watching the clouds go drifting by She’d laugh when I’d check the time Spending every silver dime Just to see her smile again Back where the highway used to end [Post-Chorus] Yeah, the highway used to end Right where the love began [Break] [Verse] Waitress knew us by our names Before the world went up in flames Sugar packets stacked in a row Nowhere else we had to go Crumpled wrapper on the floor I don't haul freight no more [Pre-Chorus] Dusty dash and a broken clock Parking in our usual spot I can still feel the heat Rising from that vinyl seat [Chorus] Two chipped mugs and a pecan pie Watching the clouds go drifting by She’d laugh when I’d check the time Spending every silver dime Just to see her smile again Back where the highway used to end [Bridge] Signs are bleached a ghostly white Guided me through every night Steel guitar starts to moan I’m never really all alone I’m thankful for the ride With her sitting by my side [Verse] Tucked it back behind the leather Keep us held tight together Truck don’t haul no heavy loads Just memories of gravel roads The engine hums a quiet tune Underneath a southern moon I can almost hear her voice Telling me I made the choice [Chorus] Two chipped mugs and a pecan pie Watching the clouds go drifting by She’d laugh when I’d check the time Spending every silver dime Just to see her smile again Back where the highway used to end [Post-Chorus] Just a faded piece of paper Catching all the morning vapor Yeah, the highway used to end Right where the love began [Outro]
