Highway Don't Care
Tim McGraw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I bet your window is rolled down and your hair is pulled back
And I bet you got no idea you are going way too fast
You try not to think about what went wrong
You try not to stop, do you get where are you going?
You try to stay away so I bet you turn on the radio
And the song goes

Fale a verdade
Fale a verdade, baby
Fale a verdade



Fale a verdade baby, baby

Há em mim um grito de paz
Há em mim quem te amou demais
Há em mim alguém que você desejou
Eu sou, eu sou

The highway won't dry your tears
The highway don't need you here
The highway don't care if you are coming home

But I do, I do

Às vezes quando ouço o seu nome ou algo assim
E me vejo inventar uma desculpa pra mim
You're tryin' not to left the first two fall out
Tryin' not to think about turning around
You're tryin' not to get lost in the sound

But that song is always on, so you sing along

Fale a verdade
Fale a verdade, baby
Fale a verdade
Fale a verdade, baby, baby

Há em mim um grito de paz
Há em mim quem te amou demais
Há em mim alguém que você desejou
Eu sou, eu sou

The highway won't dry your tears
The highway don't need you here
The highway don't care if you are coming home
But I do, I do

Fale a verdade
Fale a verdade, baby
Fale a verdade
Fale a verdade, baby, baby

The highway don't care
The highway don't care
The highway don't care

But I do, I do

Fale a verdade, fale a verdade, baby (the highway don't care, the highway don't care)
Fale a verdade, fale a verdade, baby, baby (the highway don't care, but I do, I do)

Fale a verdade, fale a verdade, baby (the highway don't care, the highway don't care)
(The highway don't care, the highway don't care)
Fale a verdade, fale a verdade, baby, baby (the highway don't care, but I do, I do)

Fale a verdade (the highway don't care)
Fale a verdade (the highway don't care)
Fale a verdade, fale a verdade, baby (the highway don't care)
(But I do, I do)
