Carol - Leeroy Stagger
Capo 3
GCarol Amtook Cmy Dphotograph in the rain at zero mile
GShe AmpromiCsed Dme a cigarette, and I promised her my best fake smile
GSittiAmn in Cthe Dtall grass, wishing we were in another land
GShe Amjust Clit mDy cigarette, and took my by the hand
GDown Dthat highway
IAmt’s tCakin me away from home
Down Gthat Dhighway
The Amonly Cplace feel alone
Me and Carol got married, when we turned 21
And her daddy never like me
To her mother I was the only son
Wooden ghosts and car parts, were 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 feel alone
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 
Just waitin for the wind to blow us,
Down that highway
It’s takin me away from home
Down that highway
The only place feel alone
Down that highway
Feels like its got no end
Down that highway
The white line is your only friend
Down that highway
Down that highway

The only place feel alone

Me and Carol got married, when we turned 21

And her daddy never like me

To her mother I was the only son

Wooden ghosts and car parts, were 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 feel alone

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

Just waitin for the wind to blow us,

Down that highway

It’s takin me away from home

Down that highway

The only place feel alone

Down that highway

Feels like its got no end

Down that highway

The white line is your only friend

Down that highway
