Girl on the Highway Lyrics by Lee Mellor

0

[Verse 1: Lee Mellor]
When love came to her door
She left out the back window and ran
Into the arms of America
Where dusty roads and lonely highways span
Young and beautiful
She don't look back that ain't rock and roll
[Chorus]
She keeps her eyes out on the highway
Counts each notch of the great American spine
Rolling faster down the highway
They blur into one great golden line
[Verse 2: Lee Mellor]
Telephone wires sinewing
The night sky like a network of nerves
Firing, continuing
Their messages across the universe
Oh car radio
With her cigarette dangling out the window
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
But with time these tires
Burning start to erode
And these telephone wires
Hum with the overload
And these engines fires
Threaten at any moment to explode
As the sun retires
Sun retires on, sun retires on the road
[Verse 3: Lee Mellor]
Now folks on the reservation
Often can be overheard to say
Of how she pulled into the service station
Ditched her car at the evening's grey
Walked off to meet the night
'Till the darkness swallowed up her cigarette light
But sometimes, sometimes they see a
[Chorus]
Girl out on the highway
Counting each notch of the great American spine
They see a girl out on the highway
Caught in the blur of one great golden line
In the blur of one great golden line
