Pan Am Highway Blues lyrics

I've gotten good at missing her

I practice all the time

While I drive the Pan Am highway thru

With that cactus friend of mine

It's getting hard to see the white line rolling by

I can't forget her memory deep inside

I dropped a bundle down in Panama

But the loss didn't do me no good

Spending cash and talking trash

Don't do it like it should

I realized I just couldn't buy her smile

I'll keep trying on that Pan Am mile by mile

If she'd meet me in San Salvador

I'd buy her a drink or two

We'd talk about our used to be

And ride on to Peru

The time to get it right is here and now

If she won't I'll move on anyhow
