[Verse 1]
Bb        Eb            F
I'm never going back to Jackson
Gm         Eb              F
I couldn't bear to show my face
Bb       Eb                 F
I nearly killed you with my drinking
Gm          Eb                  F
Wouldn't be caught dead in that place


[Chorus]
Bb     G7       F
Lonely highway, only friend
Eb         Bb             F     C
You've got me to keep you warm again
Bb     G7       F
Lonely highway, don't you cry
Eb     Bb             F      C
Let me hold you in my arms tonight


[Verse 2]
Bb       Eb              F
And as I hurtle down the highway
Gm       Eb                F
Past the factories and the graves
Bb         Eb                 F
I think of all the years I've wasted
Gm         Eb                 F
I think of all the years I've saved


[Chorus]
Bb     G7       F
Lonely highway, only friend
Eb         Bb             F     C
You've got me to keep you warm again
Bb     G7       F
Lonely highway, don't you cry
Eb     Bb             F      C
Let me hold you in my arms tonight
