Most days I can pull myself together 'Til I make it home since he's been gone I take the longer way around this town So I won't see his truck and it's just my luck That the radio started playing Old Keith Whitley I was doing fine until the chorus hit me Hey highway, I'm half a mile from my place And I can feel his memory coming up And these wheels ain't fast enough To get to my driveway before my broken heart breaks I'll be breaking down by the time this song is over So hey highway, I think I need a shoulder I'm no stranger to the pain Just need a safer place to cry, won't take much time The lights are getting blurry from the tears That I've been holding back I hate to ask Hey highway, I'm half a mile from my place And I can feel his memory coming up And these wheels ain't fast enough To get to my driveway before my broken heart breaks I'll be breaking down by the time this song is over So hey highway, I think I need a shoulder I don't have his to lean on anymore So I guess I'll just have to lean on yours Hey highway, I'm half a mile from my place And I can feel his memory coming up And these wheels ain't fast enough To get to my driveway before my broken heart breaks I'll be breaking down by the time this song is over So before I lose the hold of my composure Hey highway, I think I need a shoulder I sure could use a shoulder
