I'm leaving

The words fall out of my mouth and onto the floor

I am needing

To pack up my bags and walk right out the door

This is goodbye

I roll the windows down on my green Chevrolet

And I don't know where I'm going

I just know that I cant stay



Might make it Memphis

But if that ain't far enough

I'll speed down the highway to Tulsa, Missoula

So fast that the hurt can't catch up

I'm burning your memory

One mile at a time

All the way to Tacoma

By then you'll be out of my mind



I'm thinking

With a truck stop song and a cold cup of coffee

that I'm drinking

And I'm hurting like hell, but honey how could a not be

You made me

The joker, the fool, yeah the last one to know

I'm gonna put mountains and rivers and deserts between us

Go as far as I can go



Might make it Memphis

But if that ain't far enough

I'll speed down the highway to Tulsa, Missoula

So fast that the hurt can't catch up

I'm burning your memory

One mile at a time

All the way to Tacoma

By then you'll be out of my mind



Might leave some tears in Topeka

Couple of sleepless nights in Cheyenne

Everytime that I miss you

I'll hit the gas as fast as I can



Might make it Memphis

Past those Kansas city lights

All the way to Tacoma

By then you'll be out of my mind



All the way to Tacoma

By then you'll be out of my mind
