Ever since that night you walked out I just ain't been the same ol' me I've barely had the strength To leave the couch to turn on my TV But a man can't hide away forever And last night I finally told me so I knew I had to get out But I knew I had to take it slow So I burned down this town A honky tonk at a time I got loud and checked out Every cute little cowgirl I could hold Getting over you is still a long ways away, I swear Last night was one small step But you gotta start somewhere Think I feel a little better A little more like the man I used to be I ain't saying that I'm there yet But I can see some possibilities When your motor ain't been fired up lately You can't just jam it in gear and go I know I'm still not up to speed But last night I had to test the road
