Black coffee and her cigarettes
Another day I'd just soon forget
Doin' time with all my old regrets
Runnin' down another sunset

Albuquerque by the midnight
I found myself some neon lights
Strong whiskey and a bar fight
On the road again at sunrise

And these highways and heartaches
Losin' games and bad breaks
I'm runnin' down and always runnin' out of room
It's been near misses and high stakes
Out of luck and out of place

A dollar short and a day late
Nothin' left to lose
Oh girl, it ain't nothin' new
It's just a life after lovin' you

Truckstop, I'm pullin' in
Check the map and hit the road again
'Cause in the rear view lookin' in
I wish I had some coulda beens

And these highways and heartaches
Losin' games and bad breaks
I'm runnin' down and always runnin' out of room
It's been near misses and high stakes
Out of luck and out of place

A dollar short and a day late
Nothin' left to lose
Oh girl, it ain't nothin' new
It's just a life after lovin' you

Somewhere this road gettin' over you
Has gotta end
Someday I'll find someplace I can turn around
But for now

It's gonna be highways and heartaches
Losin' games and bad breaks
I'm runnin' down and always runnin' out of room
It's been near misses and high stakes
Out of luck and out of place

A dollar short and a day late
Nothin' left to lose
Oh girl, it ain't nothin' new
It's just a life after lovin' you

Oh girl, it ain't nothin' new
It's just a life after lovin' you
