歌词

[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]
