Lie to me,
Tell me you’re happy
And honey, I’ll race to make that early train
Smile for me,
Baby make me believe
That this sunshine ain’t really rain
You say goodnight while I’m on the road
“Love you baby, but I gotta go”
On the cold end of the telephone
I know you’re warm, and not alone
I keep moving on
I cry, the wolf and I, from dusk till dawn
I sing, sing that highway song
Running free
Gonna catch me if I stay too long
She’s whispering,
Shaking the trees
And I can hear her lies in them falling leaves
On the breeze,
Vultures are circling
And there’s a lesson to learn with each wheel that turns
She waved goodbye outside of Tupelo
Night after night, feeling all alone
When the fire of love can’t build no home
I can’t blame her when she burn it down
I’ll keep moving on
I’ll cry, the wolf and I, from dusk til dawn
I’ll sing, sing that highway song
Running free, a lone wolf, all my days long
As the legend goes, the wanderer became the road
She was the shelter and the wind that whipped the valley floor
She said leave them hills, I got the love you’re looking for
But the lone wolf runs until the road become no more
Run til the road become no more
Catch me if I stay too long
Run til the road become no more
