Broken Highway Blues (Country Music)

(Verse 1)
I hear that old train whistle blowin’ down the line,
Reminds me of the freedom that I left behind,
Got these iron bars and a cell so cold,
Dreamin’ of the days when I was bold.

(Chorus)
I’ve got the broken highway blues,
With every mile, I’m payin’ my dues,
Guilty of a past that I can’t erase,
Just a lonely heart in this prison place.

(Verse 2)
The guard’s got a smirk that cuts like a knife,
Tells me I’m a fool for livin’ this life,
I see the sun through a tiny pane,
But it’s the memories that drive me insane.

(Chorus)
I’ve got the broken highway blues,
With every mile, I’m payin’ my dues,
Guilty of a past that I can’t erase,
Just a lonely heart in this prison place.

(Bridge)
I’d trade my soul for one last ride,
Down that open road, where the freedom hides,
But the shackles on my heart are tight and true,
In this cell of sorrow, I’m seein’ through.

(Verse 3)
Now the years keep draggin’ like a slow old train,
The dreams of freedom turn to bittersweet pain,
But I’ll keep on walkin’ this lonesome track,
Til the day they come and never look back.

(Chorus)
I’ve got the broken highway blues,
With every mile, I’m payin’ my dues,
Guilty of a past that I can’t erase,
Just a lonely heart in this prison place.

(Outro)
So if you hear that train in the dead of night,
Think of me and the dreams I fight,
With the broken highway blues and a heart so true,
Just a soul lost in a world I once knew.
