Lookin' down that highway far as I can see 
Where I left so much of me 
It's gone, gone, gone 
It's how it has to be 

Went in the ditch goin' 95 
I can't believe that I walked away alive 
I was going too fast 
In the breakdown lane 

I may be walkin', I may be walkin' 
I'll get there just the same 

The woman I love, she never let me down 
Never said that my dream could not be found 
I had to burn before I could learn 
She let me go, she let me go 
She let me return
 
This is the place where I was meant to be 
Movin' on with you next to me 
And when that highway comes to a 't' 
Either way is a mystery 

Lookin' down that highway far as I can see 
Where I left so much of me 
It's gone, gone, gone 
It's how it has to be
