there was a girl hitchhikin' with a dog
fireflies buzzin' 'round her head
like candles in a fog
He was three miles down the road
tryin' to stay up but he knew that he couldn't
she was looking for a ride through the night
but out there who wouldn't
There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the edge
they were bound for each other
like two comets headin' for a bed
She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at life
he had an '84 International and two kids
he left back home with his wife
(waylon sings-same chords)
Out on the Trans-Canada highway
the sun cam climbin' up the cab
by the time it hit the window
they were waking up from what little sleep they had
When that heat hit the blankets
They were looking for love at second sight
Just starin' in each other's eyes
findin' it in the morning light
There were bound for glory, bound for livin' on the edge
they were bound for each other,
like two blankets laying on a bed
She had a new way of livin, new way of lookin' at life
he had an '84 International and two kids
he left back home with his wife
