I'm a roadside lily
Swaying in the wake of and eighteen wheeler
I'm delicate and pointless
Nobody planted me
Where I'm standing
Roadside lily

And the highway stretches on
On and on and on
And I'll never know where it goes

Don't cry lily
That's what he would say
Every other day, every other weekend
I was just a kid and daddyless
Why did he go away?
Was I not the lovliest roadside lilly?

And the highway stretches on
On and on and on
And I'll never know where it goes
Nobody comes, nobody goes
Nobody comes, nobody goes
Nobody goes

I'm a roadside lily
Some people would say a loner and a stray
Not fit for a bouqet
But your a roadside raven
Trucks are rushing by and you dont bat an eye
You dont flinch and you dont fly
Theres a bigger love than I've dreamed of
Here in my forsaken heart
I recognize it in your eyes
It's with me when were apart

And the highway stretches on
On and on and on
And the highway stretches on
On and on and on
And I'll never know where it goes
