Highway of Lost Hats

Jim White, Mike Pratt

Got a suicide knob on this hopped up Pontiac GTO
At that bend in the road that leads down along the Gulf of Mexico
She's sleeping now resting her head right upon my heart
And I love this girl so much I think I might die

Outside a wild wind is blowing
Feels like the car is moving a little too fast
She's got a secret that she's withholding
Seems like I'd be the first to know but I think I'm the last
To realize that we're going nowhere
Going nowhere on this highway of lost hats

Oh, beautiful girl are you drinking that turpentine again
Does it make all them ghosts go dancing around in your brain
I remember you saying how hard life wasthat they haunt you bad
But lately it seems to me them ghost are the only friends you wanna have

Why can't you feel these wheels a' turning
See the light coming up in the darkness ahead
It's our fine mansion and it is burning
But she don't even stir as we go speeding past
This little girl she's lost in her dream world
And me I'm going nowhere fast
Just speeding down this highway of lost hats

There's nothing ahead of us now but blacktop for miles and miles
And I wish she'd just wake up and say the words I already hear
Cause there's nowhere to turn off and
Nothing to do but keep going on
And when I roll down the window
I feel that cold wind come rushing in

She opens her eyes and looks right through me
And I realize to her I'm already gone
I'm just blowing along back there in the distance
Coming to rest with all the other
Discarded hats of fools and lovers
Dumb enough to take this ride
Where you get abandoned along the side
Side of the highway of lost hats
