Tabbed by: gwyder
Tuning: EADGBE
Intro: C, Gm.
Verse:
C                  Gm          A
You and I spent so many nights
A#                  F
Feeling alone lying side by side
C                        Gm           A
I take a last look and I say goodnight
A#                  F
Blow you a kiss and turn out the light
Am                         Gm         G#
Guess this time I won't be comin' back
Am                           D
I'll leave the key under the welcome mat
Chorus:
                    F
It's a little after midnight
                                 C
And the windin' road ahead looks black
                     F
I'm drivin' with one headlight
                                    C
And the signs are sayin' don't turn back
F
Tears are fillin' up my eyes
C
I'm tryin' to stay between the lines
F                                D
Can't waste another day livin' a lie
                G
I'm on Highway 59
                        C
And It's leading to goodbye
Verse:
I see the weepin' willow disappear
In our front yard through the rear view mirror
These country roads that brought me home for years
Now are taking me away from here
Headin' over red mountain pass
I hope to make Montgomery before I run out of gas
Chorus:
It's a little after midnight
And the windin' road ahead looks black
I'm drivin' with one headlight
And the signs are sayin' don't turn back
Tears are fillin' up my eyes
I'm tryin' to stay between the lines
Can't waste another day livin' a lie
I'm on Highway 59
And It's leading to goodbye
Bridge
Two lovers holdin' on and wastin' time
Thirsty for love but the wells run dry
