[Verse]
Pulled off the highway into the dark
Neon buzzing like a broken spark
She said
"Honey
You look so alone"
Her smile cut sharper than a broken bone
[Chorus]
Now I'm singing roadside blues
Yeah
Got a burn I can't undo
Yeah
A lesson learned in the midnight haze
Lot lizards don't love
They leave you ablaze
[Verse 2]
She smelled like whiskey and motel sheets
Her laugh was hollow
Her charm bittersweet
I should've known by the look in her eye
That some fires burn you before you even try
[Prechorus]
Now I'm itching
I'm praying
For sins I keep paying
[Chorus]
I'm singing roadside blues
Yeah
Got a burn I can't undo
Yeah
A highway curse I can't outrun
The night was over before it begun
[Bridge]
Doctor shook his head
Said
"Boy
You played the fool"
A lesson in love
Or maybe just a rule
If the neon’s blinking
And the night feels rough
Sometimes too much is just too much
