作词 : Damphier, Luther
(bill luther/tom damphier)
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 get bak 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, 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....
