| I keep tellin myself this is the right thing to do
|
| I was wastin her time, waitin on dreams that just weren’t comin true
|
| And this old highway seems to understand
|
| Leadin me on to somewhere that no one knows my name
|
| I got the window rolled down, I got the radio up
|
| I’m doin all that I can to get my mind off us What I need to do is turn this car around
|
| Drive as fast as I can til I see the lights of our hometown
|
| And run to her, take her in my arms
|
| Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn’t be so hard
|
| But I drive on, and on, and on Eighty-seven more miles gets me into Baton Rogue
|
| There’s a buddy of mine who says he might find some work that I can do Or maybe head up north to Knoxville, Tennessee
|
| I know my baby sister, has got a couch where I can sleep
|
| Now the sun’s goin down on my broken heart
|
| Lord, I gotta go bak before I get too far
|
| What I need to do is turn this car around
|
| Drive as fast as I can til I see the lights of our hometown
|
| And run to her, take her in my arms
|
| Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn’t be so hard
|
| But I drive on, and on, and on But I drive on Yes I drive on, and on, and on Knowin what I need to do Girl, I’m comin home to you
|
| Knowin what I need to do Girl I’m comin home to you
|
| I’m comin home to you
|
| Knowin what I need to do… |
