It gets the worst at night With nothing on my mind But you I'm thinking too damn much I go ahead and get up And put on my boots So I can drive as far as I can get from you On my way out of town I drive by your house Two times It don't do me no good I didn't think that it would 'cause you're not mine You might have seen me but I kept on driving by Gonna lose myself on some dark road tonight 'cause there's something 'bout Just laying down and taking all that pain I'd rather drive all night, if it's all the same 'cause half a tank of gas will get me far enough To be completely lost by the time the sun comes up And so it's four a.m. I'm on the road again To find some peace Some old gravel road God only knows There's nothing for me And there ain't nothing left for me in Tennessee Because I know you're not awake thinking of me And there's something 'bout Just laying down and taking all that pain I'd rather drive all night if it's all the same 'cause half a tank of gas will get me far enough To be completely lost by the time the sun comes up And there ain't nothing left for me in Tennessee 'cause I know you're not awake thinking of me
