Down the Road

Oh, I
Oh, my wheels are running hard against this mountain
Got a little pretty girl down the road
Got a little pretty girl down the road
Oh, I
‘Bout the way your smile shines upon your face
‘Cause I know there’s somewhere else I’d rather be
Down the road, down the road
Well, this highway ain’t the very best companion
Got a little pretty girl down the road
To dry those lonesome tears that she’s been cryin’
Another hour and I’ll be with my darlin’
Wishin’ I was in your arms again
Those truckers they all flash their lights at me

Down the road, down the road
Wish that I was in your arms a’sleeping
I am runnin’ down this mountain pass at midnight

Before I reach my final resting place
Mountain pass
Mountain pass
Down the road, down the road

Down the road, down the road
The moonlight on the snow just sets me thinking
Well, I’m runnin’ down this mountain pass at midnight

Got a little pretty girl down the road
‘Cause I know there’s somewhere else I’d rather be
Got a little pretty girl down the road

I’m runnin’ down this mountain pass at midnight

But I’m runnin’ down this mountain pass at midnight
Mountain pass
Down the road, down the road

Got a little pretty girl down the road
Mountain pass
Down the road, down the road

But I
Down the road, down the road
Those truckers they all flash their lights at me
Dreaming of the sweet love we just made
This highway ain’t the very best companion
And I know this ain’t the last beer, I’ll be drinking
I finally crossed the Archuleta line
Got a little pretty girl down the road
