Lyrics

VERSE
We started out pretty good, oh, you and me
Headin’ down the road cool as we could be
Movin’ around all over town; goin’ up the country, too
Everything lookin’ really good, baby, just me and you (but it was)

CHORUS
(It was) In one of them old highway places, oh, where the rattlesnakes hide
In one of them old highway places where dreams are rarely satisfied (it was)
In one of them old highway places, I got all twisted up inside
When you were lovin’ on him, you assassinated my pride

VERSE
Now I guess I was not very good at checkin’ out what’s ahead
’Cause we stopped off at a place where angels fear to tread
I thought we had it made; me and you against the world
But I guess it was the pull of the whiskey that pulled you to him, girl (it was)

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
There’s lots of joy in them old places
But there’s a bad side of it, too

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
It was in one of them old highway places where the rattlesnakes hide
