Highway 99

Another tension ride down Highway 99
I am taking her home after a fight
She doesn’t have a car and it’s mostly up to me
Well, I usually don’t mind but this is no treat
‘cause sitting here so close there is nowhere to hide
the air is thick you could cut it with a knife
so we stare straight ahead as we rocket down the road
so very close yet so much alone

bet I’ve learned every curve from her door to mind
We have done this so much I could almost do it blind
I don’t know exactly what to say
‘cept how much lower can you go ?
playing out our love in a dirty old car
don’t even know what to say ?
wasting all my time
messes with my mind
I’m gonna find a different way
I’m gonna learn a different way to drive

Highway 99 no is not a friend of mine
There have been too many times with these long lonely drives
I can do without the memories
Do without the blues
Do without the grief that I always get from you
No I don’t like it, no I don’t
This is not the way I heard that love is supposed to go
It’s a long bitter ride and a long stupid road
Specially when she’s there and she’s so damn cold

So I drop her off, head up the road
And it’s me once again all alone
No I don’t like it, no I don’t
This is not the way I heard that love is supposed to go
So I ain’t gonna do it anymore
Playing out my love in this stupid old car
Don’t even know what to say
Wasting all my time
Messes with my mind
Gonna find a different way
I’m gonna learn a different way to drive.
