 Highways and Heartaches
 Written and performed by Joe Ely
 As appearing on the album, Love and Danger
 Transcribed by Steve Krall (steve.krall@daytonoh.ncr.com)
 This is a pretty simple song....the verses are primarily
 one chord.  Listen to the album to understand what's going
 on.
 
 Highways and Heartaches
 
 Intro:  G  C  G
 
 Verse 1:
 G
 Leaving California
 G
 She is on my mind
 G
 I left her back in Travis County
 G
 Crying to a clothesline
 
 D
 Steel guitar on the radio,
 Cuttin' slow and mean
 I brought home the bottle
 She just wanted beans
 
 Chorus
 G            C
 Highways and heartaches
 G                C
 Go together like you and me
 G           C
 Do you ever think about it
 G                 C
 When the night is sad and lonely.
 
 
 Verse 2:
 I wonder if she's watching TV
 Cryin' with soap opera stars
 I wonder if she's seen it in me
 Or if we've gone to far.
 
 
 Look at all the lovers,
 Runnin' from their past
 Gassin' up just to get somewhere
 But goin' nowhere fast
 
 
 Chorus
 
 
 Bridge:
 D
 Do you ever think about it
 When the night is sad and lonely
 
 
 Verse 3:
 Runnin' away don't stop the pain
 It just delays the cryin'
 What's left unsaid is better swallowed
 Is covered up with lyin'
 
 Though the song is over
 I can still hear the steel guitar's
 And though the past is gone for good
 It still helps to swallow hard.
 
 Chorus
