Got up in the morning
thoughts still filled my head
Is it true did we say the things we both said?
Constant insecurity bundled up with crying
A slammin' door a dead bolt lock
a love left hurt and dying
Grabbed a cup of coffee
drank it way too fast
sat and thought about the love
that I thought would last
I can't find no inspiration
in the pain I'm going through
I walked along a lonely path
then tried to walk with you

Now I'm flying low
no place to go
think I'll take a drive in my car
I don't know where I'll go
but I think I'll drive it pretty far
pretty far from where you are
pretty far from where you are

Grabbed a morning paper
read the front page news
then I read Dear Abby
hoping for a clue
I read a letter someone wrote
you know it sounded just like you
asking about forgiveness
asking what to do
Well Abby said to use your head
then follow your heart
Said you won't get nowhere
putting the horse behind the cart
and if you burn a candle with fire on both ends
the love won't last and when it's gone
you won't even be friends

Now I'm flying low
no place to go
think I'll take a drive in my car
I don't know where I'll go
but I think I'll drive it pretty far
pretty far from where you are
pretty far from where you are

New Orleans to Dallas
Dallas to Abilene
Abilene to Phoenix
and all points in between
cruise control and gasoline
is all I need right now
I'd drive you right from my soul
if only I knew how

Now I'm flying low
no place to go
think I'll take a drive in my car
I don't know where I'll go
but I think I'll drive it pretty far
pretty far from where you are
pretty far from where you are
