[Gm]
[C#] I'm going to sing a song called Blue Kentucky Highway.
Blue [D] Kentucky Highway, [C] heading [G] for the line.
She [D] hadn't said a word all [C] night, but the wheels were turning [G] in her [Gm] mind.
[G] Now I [C] was riding shotgun, and I knew things [Gm] were gonna ride.
Just as soon [A] as she dropped me off at the side of the [D] road, and she let that gravel
fly, now I'm [G] walking in the moonlight, seeing nothing but the [C] taillights.
[G] And that's a pair [Em] of taillights [A] I may never [G] see again.
She hit me with her left hand right, showing me [C] nothing but the taillights.
[G] That's about [Em] as lonely as the [A] highway's ever been.
[Am] Back here with [D] my phone out in [Gm] the wind.
[G] [D] Was it something that I did to her, [C] or the things [G] I never said?
[Gm] I [D] wonder if the way we [C] were, was [Gm] only in my head.
[G] Now if I [C] even make it back to town, before the [G] sun comes up,
I'm [A] gonna hit every parking spot [D] around, till I find that pickup truck.
[G] Now I'm talking in the moonlight, seeing [C] nothing but the taillights.
[G] And that's a [Em] pair of taillights I may [A] never [D] see again.
She [G] hit me with her left hand right, showing me [C] nothing but the taillights.
[G]
That's about as lonely as the [A] highway's ever been.
[Am]
Back here [D] with my phone out [G] in the wind.
[Em] Well I hope that right now, she's laughing at [D] how she brought me to [A] my knees.
[Am] But she won't be laughing half as [D] loud, when she gets me back my [G] keys.
She'll be walking in the moonlight, seeing nothing but the [C] taillights.
[G]
That's a pair of [A] taillights she won't ever [D] see again.
She [G] hit me with her left hand right, and with nothing but the [C] taillights.
[G]
[Em] That's about as lonely [A] as the highway's ever been.
[Am]
Back here [D] with my phone out [G] in the wind.
Hey, here I come.
[G]
You need me out here in the middle of nowhere.
Drive this.
