        G  Gadd9                   C 
I keep telling my self  this is the right thing to do 
       G                    Gadd9            C 
I was wasting her time  waitin on dreams that just werent comming true 
          G Gadd9     C 
And this ole highway   seems to understand 
G                  Gadd9         C 
leading me off to somewhere  where no one knows my name 
         Em                           C 
got the windows rolled down  got the radio up 
       G  Gadd9           D 
doing all I can  to get my mind of us 
 
Chorus: 
        G Gadd9      D                 Dsus 
what I need to do  is turn this car around 
Em                               C 
drive as fast as I can  until I see the lights of our hometown  
     G  Gadd9          D             Dsus 
and run to her  take her in my arms 
Em                                      C 
let her see how sorry I am   well  it shouldnt be soo hard 
        G D Em               C    
but I drive...... on...  and on...   and on....

87 more miles brings me into Baton Rouge 
          G                 Gadd9                  C 
Theres a buddy of mine that says he might find some work that I can do 
          G Gadd9        C 
Or maybe head up north to Knoxville  Tennesee 
   G           Gadd9         C  
I know my baby sister's got a couch where I can sleep 
         Em                     C 
Now the suns going down  on my broken heart. 
        G        Gadd9        D 
Lord I gotta get back  before I go too far
