Highway 54

Sittin' in the kitchen with my back against the wall
 I was waitin' for my baby but my baby didn't call
 Suddenly there came a stranger knockin' on my door
 He told me there had been a wreck out on highway 54
 She was with another man is what the stranger said
 I asked if she'd survived it but he slowly shook his head
 They were on their way to the other side of town
 They tried to beat a freight train, and the freight train ran 'em down
 CHORUS
 Highway 54 took my love away from me
 I knew she didn't want me, but I could not set her free
 She was with another like so many times before
 She paid the price of runnin' round out on highway 54
 ♪
 (yeah, run her down brother)
 [Interlude]
 ♪
 Many sleepless nights have passed my broken heart since then
 The man that she was runnin' with once was my best friend
 All the dreams that I had they fill my mind no more
 'Cause they died with her that tragic night out on highway 54
 ♪
 (repeat chorus)
 ♪
 Yeah, she paid the price of cheatin' me out on highway 54
