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 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 Rouge 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 get back before I go 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 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....
