Blacktop Lover Lyrics

Didn't desert get too dry?

California turned you gray

Utah took your soul

And prayed the Lord would make you stay

Heard you're running round on Houston

But you're bound to Santa Fe

Hope that highway runs forever

Hope it runs you to your grave

Cause you're a blacktop lover when the sun goes down

It's you and that 84 running out of town

And you don't owe them nothing

Cause you're just having fun

Oh, blacktop lover, why'd you love her on the run

Used to hang your hat in Tucson

But you never loved the West

And you never stopped to give a damn

Before you tore off her dress

And these days you're just running

From the debts you've yet to pay

Still chasing bliss that left

When she walked away

Cause you're a blacktop lover when the sun goes down

It's you and that 84 running out of town

And you don't owe them nothing, cause you're just having fun

Oh, blacktop lover, why'd you love her on the run

Blacktop lover you're a victim to your pride

If you ever said you love her

Well I know it'd be a lie
