Don't Think About Her When You're Trying To Drive

She don't know who you're missin'

Drivin' down that lonesome road tonight

Looking for one starlight glowing



Or her face shining in the dash light

Driving out of Natchez

You drive her back and forth across your mind

Tires squeal as the wheels spin faster

Love's gone for good this time



[Chorus]

Don't think about her

Move on, you're lucky just to be alive

You'll live without her

Just don't you think about her

When you're trying to drive



A heart in your condition

Shouldn't be out on that road tonight

Bad clutch and your load keeps shifting

Hold on, Buddy you'll be alright

You'll wake tomorrow morning

Probably be in Memphis or somewhere

They won't know one thing about her

Those lips, those eyes, that hair



[Chorus]



You make that phone call

You'll hear her saying

"Hello, who's there, is it somebody playing?"

You won't be able to utter a word

She's better off not knowing

Where it is you're going



[Chorus: x2]



Don't you think about her

Trying to drive
