Lyrics

I broke out towards the southern states in early morning light,
Visions of the one I loved, dancing in my mind,
Springsteen on the radio, singing tales of ache and pain,
Both were yet unknown to me, but I sang out just the same.

The skies grew dark ‘round Baltimore, and rain began to fall,
I strained to see the highway lines, and feared I’d hit the wall,
It seemed my trip was doomed to fail, and I’d spend my life alone,
But, nothing could turn me around, I wasn’t going home.

Southern drive,
What waits for me when i arrive,
Ninety-five
Heartbeat highway keeping me alive,
Alive

Lights were low in Washington, when I reached my destiny,
To my surprise before my eyes, I caught such treachery
All at once my blood grew cold, I knew I’d been betrayed
There was nothing left to say, so I turned and walked away.

Southern drive,
Sorrow finds no place to hide ,
Ninety-five
Heartbreak highway, such a painful ride,
Oh my

What you once meant to me,
It’s just a memory,
Chopped down the cherry tree,
Know nothing of loyalty
Filled with such uncertainty
Hope you’re feeling guilty
