She Leaves You Where You Are

This highway's like a girl I knew

You climb into her car.

She takes you many places

She leaves you where you are.

Her ribbons are all a tangle

Her breath is long and fast

But if you're only tryin' to pass the time

Her love will never last.

This highway's like a girl I knew

Who walks you to her door.

She teases you with lovin' arms

And promises you more.

And then one day she walks away

Says she ain't goin' far.

She takes you many places

But she leaves you where you are.

This highway's like a girl I knew

Who had your very soul.

But you tried to get too close to her

To have and to hold.

Days and nights you chase her

With your bag and your guitar.

She takes you many places

But she leaves you where you are.

She takes you many places

But she leaves you where you are.
