Friendship: “Highway Queen”

This is how I feel about, or one way I would describe, true friendship:

Well, there’s only a few pines left by the highway side

And they all whistle as the wind rips straight through your pride

Baby, it’s only your eyes and mine

And this darkness that grows in time

Oh, ‘cause you left home on that airplane running

And never looked back but you can tell it’s coming

My highway queen must be hiding something

And I want you to know I’m behind you

We could slow it down, honey, let it find you

And I want you to know nobody’s leaving

No, I ain’t scared of your demons

That’s just what makes you a real thing

(Mm, mm-mm)

Well, the stars pulled up about a quarter to nine

And you were lying on my car, you were taking your time

Baby, it’s only your hands and mine

In this world, you’ve come so far to find

Oh, ’cause you left home on that airplane running

You never looked back but you can tell it’s coming

My highway queen must be hiding something

And I want you to know I’m behind you

We could slow it down, honey, let it find you

And I want you to know nobody’s leaving

No, I ain’t scared of your demons

That’s just what makes you

That’s just what makes you

That’s just what makes you a real thing

Oh, we both left home on that airplane running

We never looked back but you can tell it’s coming

My highway queen must be hiding something

And I want you to know I’m behind you

We could slow it down, honey, let it find you

And I want you to know nobody’s leaving

Honey, I ain’t scared of your demons

That’s just what makes you

That’s just what makes you

That’s just what makes you a real thing
