What I Need to Do

I keep tellin myself this is the right thing to do

I was wastin her time, waitin on dreams that just weren't comin true

And this old highway seems to understand

Leadin me on to somewhere that no one knows my name

I got the window rolled down, I got the radio up

I'm doin all I can to get my mind off us



What I need to do is turn this car around

Drive as fast as I can til I see the lights of our hometown

And run to her, take her in my arms

Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard

But I drive on, and on, and on



Eighty-seven more miles gets me into Baton Rogue

There's a buddy of mine who said he might find some work that I can do

Maybe head up north to Knoxville, Tennessee

I know my baby sister, has got a couch where I can sleep

Now the sun's goin down on my broken heart

Lord, I gotta get back before I go too far



What I need to do is turn this car around

Drive as fast as I can til I see the lights of our hometown

And run to her, take her in my arms

Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard

But I drive on

Yes I drive on, and on, and on



Knowin what I need to do

Girl, I'm comin home to you



Knowin what I need to do

Girl I'm comin home to you

I'm comin home to you

Knowin what I need to do...
