I saw her lightly
And her dress was brown
June bugs falling
All around
I tripped on a rose
I slept for an hour
I woke up dreaming
It was a passing shower

(Chorus)

Always alone
It just keeps breaking down
And the highway song
Forever black and blue and gold

I can't get it started
I know my engine turns
I had faith in the slipstream
When the driver was her
But it just keeps slipping
And it don't turn on
I feel so lonesome
Now that she is gone

(Chorus)

Baby, take the low road
Down to Finnean's Pass
See the blue camaro
Parked in the grass
Walk towards the water
Lay down on the bank
Someday I know
We'll be together again

Always alone
It just keeps breaking down
And the highway song
Forever black and blue and gold
Loosely tied but hanging on
