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 that 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 says he might find some work that I can do Or 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 get 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
