Blue Kentucky highway headin' for the line
  She hadn't said a word all night but the wheels are turnin' in her mind
  Now I was ridin' shotgun and I knew things had gone awry
  Just as soon as she dropped me off at the side of the road and she let that gravel fly
  
  Now I'm walkin' in the moonlight seein' nothin' but the taillights
  And that's a pair of taillights I may never see again
  She hit me with the left and right showin' me nothin' but the taillights
  And that's about as lonely as the highway's ever been
  Back here with my thumb out in the wind
  
  Was it somethin' that I did to her or the things I never said
  I wonder if the way we were was only in my head
  Now if I even make it back to town before the sun comes up
  I'm gonna hit every parking spot around 'til I find that pick-up truck
  
  Now I'm talkin' in the moonlight seein' nothin' but the taillights
  And that's a pair of taillights I may never see again
  She hit me with the left and right showin' me nothin' but the taillights
  And that's about as lonely as a highway's ever been
  Stuck here with my thumb out in the wind
  
  Well I'll bet right now she's laughin' at how she brought me to my knees
  But she won't be laughin' half as loud when she gives me back my keys
  
  She'll be walkin' in the moonlight seein' nothin' but the taillights
  And that's a pair of taillights she won't ever see again
  She hit me with a left and right and with nothin' but the taillights
  And I know that's about as lonely as a highway's ever been
  Back here with my thumb out in the wind
  
  There she goes Here I come
