Lyrics
I-25, Walsenburg line
I left you the flowers, but I took the wine
Sundown is hanging, hanging by a thread
And I still can't believe all those things that you said
Chorus
And it's all I can do
To keep my hands at ten and two
Honey, how many miles
Until I forget about you?
How many miles
Until I forget about you?
Got the pedal to the floor
Hear the hummin' of the wheels
And I ain't got the time
To make any deals
The highway signs
Are all pointing west
And the Arizona line
Is a day away at best
Chorus
And it's all I can do
To keep my hands at ten and two
Honey, how many miles
Until I forget about you?
So take away your Shakespeare
Take away your Rimbaud
Those sugarcoated lines
Just don't cut it anymore
The Western skyline
Is a-comin' on strong
One more tank of gas
And I'll be long gone
And it's all I can do
To keep my hands at ten and two
Honey, how many miles
Until I forget about you?
How many miles
Until I forget about you?
