Lyrics:
He was there on the side
Of I-45
With his thumb hanging out
In the wind.
So I pulled my truck over
There on the shoulder
And asked if he needed a lift
His skin worn and weathered
Sun dried like leather
Wrinkled all up in a grin
He said this road ain’t easy
I’m headed to see me a girl that I left way back when
Chorus:
Ride this lonesome highway home
Ride this lonesome highway home
So he crawled up inside
And asked for a light as the camel hung loose from his lips
He spoke of the navy
And told me that maybe
He’d left his mind back on that ship
He said I’m still to blame
For the choices I’ve made
Oh the women the whiskey
The sin
Repeat chorus
He rattled a cough
As I dropped him off
Underneath that rusted
Stop sign
He said son I don’t know
Where you’re trying to go
But if wonderin’s what’s been
On your mind
Take it from an old drifter
Who knows how to roam
Ain’t no place that feels quite like home
