Lyrics

Highway 29

Written by: Drew Rice

Let me tell you a story, one of love so warm and true
It started with a question and ended with I?ll marry you
Then she got her things in order, she started making plans
We got to paint the rooms, clean up the yard, sell your truck and get a mini van
Well right then and there it hit me, just what I had to do
Got to face the facts and move on with life, out with the old and in with the new
You see I call my pick up baby, and I sure will miss her so
What can I say gonna be a bad day, when I finally let her go

I ?m gonna leave my baby at the car lot, out on Highway 29
And that old gal she?d always been a real good friend of mine
But like every thing in life its bound to change in due time
I?m gonna leave my baby at the car lot out on highway 29

Well we drove into the city to go and trade her in
And that got me to thinking about all the good times and places we?d been
And as I pulled away from the car lot holding back the tears as best I can
I could see my baby in the rear view mirror sitting right to that van

Yeah I left my baby at the car lot, out on Highway 29
And that old gal she?d always been a real good friend of mine
But like every thing in life its bound to change in due time
So I left my baby at the car lot out on highway 29

I call my pickup baby; I called my girlfriend baby too,
But she went and tried to change me
And that?s the one thing you don?t do
She wanted me to sell my baby, well baby good luck
Cause there ain?t a woman in this world that can come between
Me and my old pick up truck,
There ain?t a woman in this world can come between me and my old pick up truck
