lyrics

off of the Lee Jackson Highway
a motel in the weeds
a parking lot of pickup trucks
a highway gone to seed
when I go out driving
there is no call that I heed
the moonlight meets the highway
and that’s all that I need

and I don’t think it’s crazy
to love you like I do
I don’t think that it’s crazy
but maybe you do

your voice speaks a thousand lines
like echoes in the rain
the tracks are rattling in time
beneath your moving train
and I am tied down to the rails
I whisper out in vain
the night air swallows up my words
in a lullaby refrain

off of the Lee Jackson Highway
beyond my bright high-beams
there’s a dam behind the motel
holding up the stream
and I can’t help but wonder
if it might one day give way
to a sense of growing gravity
a sense of this decay

and if you do
then you do
