I broke the rules and lived the fast life
Slept all day and I played all night
But baby I've been hurt and lost
For such a long time
Time for me to head on
Right on down the line
I’m heading down
On the highway
I know you’re hurt baby
But you couldn’t say
Written you a love song
It’s just yours and mine
But I couldn’t think
Of that classic line
We all have dreams and aspirations
But then we get stuck in some crummy job
But Lord I just can't face
Another night in the lonely city
Wallowing in debt and drugs
And oh so much self-pity
I’m heading down
On the highway
I know you’re hurt baby
But you couldn’t say
Written you a love song
It’s just yours and mine
But I couldn’t think
Of that classic line
I broke the rules and lived the fast life
You prayed for me but I never made it right
But baby I've been hurt and lost
Oh for such a long time
Time for me to head on
Right on down the line
I’m heading down
On the highway
I know you’re hurt baby
But you couldn’t say
Written you a love song
It’s just yours and mine
But I couldn’t think
Of that classic line
