Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Lyrics

 I bet the sun is shining down in San Francisco
The place you tell everybody that you’re from,
But you hardly ever get to go
I gave you shelter from the rain, and in exchange,
You sang me to sleep with your songs,
But boy don’t try and kiss me
Cause in the morning you’ll be gone

And it ain’t that I can’t love you, just cause I can’t own ya
It’s just that you belong to the highway, and I belong to Tacoma

Your beard looks rough, your life seems tough
About as tough as your skin
If I reached up and I brushed back your hair
Would you surrender and melt in?
Oh my child, I bet you would,
You look like you ain’t been touched in weeks
And it’s so sad that I know how that feels,
That I know exactly what that means

But the last thing I need is to put my heart
Into the hands of a roamer
Cause you belong to the highway, and I belong to Tacoma

See the rose tattooed on my hip,
See your innocent and inkless skin
The only reason that you’re here at all
Is that I fell in love with one of your songs

So make your way, back to the couch and stay
There for the rest of the night
Even if I get weak and I call out your name
Please don’t come to my side

Remember me soft and sweet
With all the kindness that I’ve shown ya
Cause you belong to the highway, and I belong to Tacoma
