She was leaving in the morning
On a hot day out of Truman
Great Salt Lake to Arizona
I awoke to find she'd gone
She left a letter
On my dashboard
"I'm leaving you dear,
I've had enough
Of the sad life
And your troubles.
I've burned out on sour luck."
So tape me to your dashboard
My picture will see you home
Just remember that I love you
Always always because
Well I'm flying down the highway
The burning road never touches
Me
Leaving everything I had
Behind me as far as I could see
So will you remember
In Philadelphia
Or wherever the hell you're
Going to
Not just the hard times or the troubles
But my heart that still belongs
To you
