Sittin' in the kitchen with my back against the wall
I was waiting for my baby, but my baby didn't call
Suddenly there came a stranger knockin' on my door
He told me there had been a wreck out on Highway 54

She was with another man, is what the stranger said
I asked if she survived it, but he slowly shook his head
They were on their way to the other side of town
They tried to beat a freight train, and the freight train ran 'em down

Highway 54 took my love away from me
I knew she didn't want me
But I could not set her free
She was with another like so many times before
She paid the price for runnin' around out on highway 54

[Instrumental}
Yeah run 'er down brother

Many sleepless nights has passed my broken heart since then
The man that she was runnin' with, once was my best friend
All the dreams that I had, could fill my mind no more
Cause they died with her that tragic night out on Highway 54

Highway 54 took my love away from me
I knew she didn't want me
But I could not set her free
She was with another like so many times before
She paid the price for runnin' around out on highway 54

Yeah she paid the price for cheatin' me out on highway 54
