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
Who's caught rememberin'
Images of childhood
And the places that he'd been
Caught up in his questions
Wonderin' where it would end
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
Bedding down in a cheap motel
Puts you in touch with an emptiness
That players know too well
It comes on strong when you drop your boots
And sit up on the bed
And try to keep your thoughts from dancing
'Round the room
So you fumble with a line
'Til you hear that melody
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
Who's soul is on the radio
Sounds like me and the good ol' boy
Are two of a kind
