Carol Lyrics & Chords By Leeroy Stagger

Carol took my photograph in the rain at zero mile
She promised me a cigarette, and I promised her my best fake smile
While sittin in the tall grass, wishing we were in another land
She just lit my cigarette, and took my by the hand

Down that highway
It’s takin me away from home
Down that highway
The only place I feel alone

Carol and me got married, when we turned 21
And her daddy never like me much
To her mother I was their only son
Wooden ghosts and car parts, scattered through our backyard
Lovin' her was the easy to do
Leaving was the only thing hard

I went down that highway
It’s takin me away from home
Down that highway
The only place I'd feel alone
Down that highway
Feels like it's got no end
It seems like my only friend

Carol died 5 years ago, giving birth to our only son
And her momma, daddy and me put her in the ground November 21
And sometimes later at night, I sit at our bedroom window
Wishin I was somewhere with her
Waitin for the wind to blow us,

Down that highway
It’s takin me away from home
Down that highway
The only place I could feel alone
Down that highway
Seems like its got no end
Down that highway
The white line is your only friend

Down that highway
Down that highway
