I drove in on the four lane
Where the two lane used to be
The highway hummed a near forgotten tune
From 1963
The year I turned 18 and set my sights
And heard the highway call
Now the highwayâs come full circle
To a place I scarce recall
Thereâs a girl I still remember
Whose name I canât recall
I gave her what I had, but then
She tried to take it all
I stayed long enough to love her
And then left her on the run
Like a flower left to wither
In that deep East Texas sun
Thereâs a place out on the highway
Where I go to spend my time
Where the bartenders all know me
And the players are friends of mine
And we light up on the brakes
And talk of things that we all know
But Iâve heard it all before
And Iâll hear it all again
And Iâve heard it said
The highway never ends
So what about old handsome Johnny
And the class of â64?
Did the women all make promises
When they shipped him off to war?
Did his mama get the medal
And did his country ever win?
Well, letâs drink a round to Johnny
âCuz he died for all our sins.
Theyâre still down there in the factories
You can see âem in the mills
Theyâve sweated there for years, Lord
I guess they always will.
And you know they wonât be leaving
And I canât watch âem die that way
So in my rear view mirror
Iâll just watch them slip away
Thereâs a place out on the highway
Where I go to spend my time
Where the bartenders all know me
And the players are friends of mine
And we light up on the brakes
And talk of things that we all know
But Iâve heard it all before
And Iâll hear it all again
And Iâve heard it said
The highway never ends
The highway never ends
The highway never ends
