Highway Bill's on the rotary still   And he can't even feel the pain   Of a sun dried shoulder and a scar from a boulder   That cut him right across his vein      Now he's suckin' cigar and he's shovelin' tar   In the crater of a turnpike terrain   He's got only one hope, and he wants to elope   'Cause Highway Jill is driving him insane      We gotta get on the road, destiny unbound   She's the one for me we gotta get outta town   We gotta get on the road, destiny unbound   She's the one for me we gotta get outta town      Highway Jill was a daffodil   With a cactus sense of pride   At the wheel of a tractor, she was quite an impactor   When the road rocks started to slide      She saw Bill drop his shovel on a pile of gravel   As he climbed up out of his ditch   She was wonderstruck when he climbed in her truck   He said, "I've been havin' this everlasting itch"      At first she was cold, she was ready to scold   This guy from the pit with a thing in his head   But then she thought twice when he melted her ice   With his passionate eyes she was energized      She started the ignition and without permission   The two of 'em flew down the dusty road   But the road wasn't finished and the pavement diminished   They soared off the edge and they plunged in the sludge      She said, there isn't even any road, our destiny was bound   We were the ones for us but now we're in the ground   She said, there isn't even any road, our destiny was bound   We were the ones for us but now we're in the ground      She said, there isn't even any road, our destiny was bound   We were the ones for us but now we're in the ground   She said, there isn't even any road, our destiny was bound   We were the ones for us but now we're in the ground
