I went to visit Daddy, down at the county jail.
I had to give him bad news -- we couldn't pay his bail.
I left my Daddy crying; it made me feel so bad!
But then I saw you coming in, and I forgot my dad.
Your eyes as blue as M&M's, your hair the hue of beer!
And when you saw me staring, you gave a friendly leer.
I knew you were my true love; I felt you knew it, too.
And right away I knew that I would hear you say, "I do."
I had to give him bad news -- we couldn't pay his bail.
I left my Daddy crying; it made me feel so bad!
But then I saw you coming in, and I forgot my dad.
Your eyes as blue as M&M's, your hair the hue of beer!
And when you saw me staring, you gave a friendly leer.
I knew you were my true love; I felt you knew it, too.
And right away I knew that I would hear you say, "I do."
Chorus: Now I'm just another road-kill on the highway of your love,
I'm lyin' here a-cryin' looking at the stars above.
My friends all tried to tell me, but I felt Cupid's dart.
Now all that I have left of you are tire tracks on my heart!
Our first date at the honky tonk, you didn't see me there.
My heart was overflowing -- I followed everywhere.
That silly sheriff's order, I didn't even look.
I knew I had to be with you no matter what it took.
Now I'm just another road-kill on the highway of your love,
I'm lyin' here a-cryin' looking at the stars above.
My friends all tried to tell me, but I felt Cupid's dart.
Now all that I have left of you are tire tracks on my heart!
Breaking in was easy, and I found you in bed.
I slipped in beside you and stroked your golden head.
You hollered, then you tumbled, I saw your face go pale.
Now here I am with Daddy, down at the county jail.
Now I'm just another road-kill on the highway of your love,
I'm lyin' here a-cryin' looking at the stars above.
My friends all tried to tell me, but I felt Cupid's dart.
Now all that I have left of you are tire tracks on my heart!
