The hardest thing I've ever done   Is say goodbye to you   But even though I love you baby   I know you can't be true   I walked down that country road   Out to the big highway   I caught a ride on an eighteen wheeler   And I'm takin' it all the way      Takin' all these blues to the highway   Tryin' to get her out of my mind   When I'm out on the open road   With the wind in my face   I'll leave my heartache behind      Raindrops on my window   Teardrops from my eyes   I thought our love was sacred   Now I know that's just a lie   So I pack my suitcase   And head out that old front door   Better take a long last look now baby   'Cuz I won't be back no more      Takin' all these blues to the highway   Tryin' to get her out of my mind   When I'm out on the open road   With the wind in my face   I'll leave my heartache behind
