G                     D 
There's a curve in the highway, just south of town 
        Em                     C 
Where a man has pulled over to figure life out 
     G                           D 
With only his conscience and the lonesome sound 
   C 
Of diesels winding up grade 
           G                  D 
He's got a wife and two kids, they love him so 
           Em                               C 
He's got a woman down in Georgia, and she's startin' to show 
     G                                 D 
He's damned if he leaves her, and he's sure damned if he don't 
       C 
And he wonders how life got this way 


[Refrão]
             D    G    C                    D 
Cause it's a fine line in between right and wrong 
                G                  C              D 
Yeah, he's been crossing over that border way too long 
            Em                    D              G 
He should'a seen it coming at him right from the start 
          C                      D      G  
Now there ain?t no escape from a broken heart 
 
Now the call of the highway is a powerful thing 
Like the pull of a lover, or a child in a swing 
Gave his heart to two women, only one wears his ring 
They're both gonna have his babies now 
So how do you confess what words don't explain 
He never intended to cause this much pain 
Now he feels like a farmer who went praying for the rain 
Got more than he bargained from the clouds 
 
Chorus 
 
Bm                                    C 
He'll turn his car around tonight, go home and try to face the truth 
Am          G                               F#m                  D 
Everyone involved's getting hurt, now there ain?t nothing he can do 
 
Chorus
