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 OL' HIGHWAY
SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND
LEADIN' ME ON
TO SOMEWHERE
WHERE NO ONE KNOWS
MY NAME
I GOT THE WINDOW
ROLLED DOWN
I GOT THE RADIO UP
I'M DOIN' ALL I CAN
TO GET MY MIND OFF US
WHAT I NEED TO DO
IS TURN THIS CAR
AROUND
DRIVE AS FAST AS I CAN
TILL 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 ROUGE
THERE'S A BUDDY
OF MINE
WHO SAID HE MIGHT FIND
SOME WORK
THAT I CAN DO
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 GET BACK
BEFORE I GO TOO FAR
WHAT I NEED TO DO
IS TURN THIS CAR
AROUND
DRIVE AS FAST AS I CAN
TILL 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
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
