On the road without a friend Can make you feel life's loneliness In a voice that rides the wind Streaming 'cross the airwaves In a simple country song The one that you don't hear Until the moon is full It was Texas once again The one about the good ol' boy Images of childhood Who's caught rememberin' Caught up in his questions Wonderin' where it would end And the places that he'd been Another midnight on the highway Dallas in the distance Seems I'm always leavin' love behind Singin' along with someone Who's soul is on the radio Sounds like me and the good ol' boy Are two of a kind Puts you in touch with an emptiness Bedding down in a cheap motel That players know too well It comes on strong when you drop your boots And try to keep your thoughts from dancing And sit up on the bed 'Til you hear that melody So you fumble with a line 'Round the room Singing sad and sweet And there you are again with him Somewhere down the line You're feelin' just a little bit better When you hear his guitar whine Another midnight on the highway Dallas in the distance Seems I'm always leavin' love behind Singin' along with someone Sounds like me and the good ol' boy Who's soul is on the radio Are two of a kind
