Iris DeMent
"Heart's Highway"
(Eddie Miller/Alice Harper)
[b-side to the 'Our Town' CD single; popularized in 1956 by Lefty Frizzell]
Through your heart there runs a highway
where the traffic comes and goes
and the old loves are replaced by the new
I keep searching for the stop sign I know I'll never find
'cause I'm just a love passing through
Chorus:
Oh, how I'd love to linger and how I'd love to stay
but it says "No Parking" on your heart's highway
So I'll just keep a-travelin' down that highway paved in blue
'cause I'm just another love passing through
(chorus)
