I keep telling my self this is the right thing to do
I was wasting her time waitin on dreams that just werent comming true
And this ole highway seems to understand
leading me off to somewhere where no one knows my name
got the windows rolled down got the radio up
doing all I can to get my mind of us
what I need to do is turn this car around
drive as fast as I can until I see the lights of our hometown
and run to her take her in my arms
let her see how sorry I am well it shouldnt be soo hard
but I drive on and on and on
(repeat intro)
87 more miles brings me into Baton Rouge
Theres a buddy of mine that says he might find some work that I can do
Or maybe head up north to Knoxville Tennesee
I know my baby sister's got a couch where I can sleep
Now the suns going down on my broken heart.
Lord I gotta get back before I go too far
(repeat chorus)
Knowing what I need to do
Girl Im comming home to you
Knowing what I need to do
Knowing what I need to do
