Text: Steve Earle. The Mountain. Long, Lonesome Highway Blues.

Bound down that long, lonesome highway
As far as I can ride 'til I outrun your memory
I can't go home 'cause I can't face another day alone
Without you here this ain't no place for me

I want to start all over new
But I can't hide these lonesome highway blues

Bound down that long, lonesome highway
As far as I can ride 'til I outrun your memory
Bound down that long, lonesome highway
As far as I can ride, just wanna go to someplace you won't be

And I'm movin' on to a new place and hold my head up high
Where no one knows what you did to me

A thousand miles between us now
Got to steal that blues, them blues'll track me down
Down that long, lonesome highway
As far as I can ride 'til I outrun your memory

Bound down that long, lonesome highway
As far as I can ride 'til I outrun your memory
I can't go home 'cause I can't face another day alone
Without you here this ain't no place for me

I want to start all over new
But I can't hide these lonely highway blues

Bound down that long, lonesome highway
As far as I can ride 'til I outrun your memory
'Til I outrun your memory
