it's taking a lot out of me 

to tell you how long it will be 

before i can spend some sweet time with you again 

(sweet time) 



i'm hoping i'll be finding success 

(you know you will) 

you know that i'll be trying my best 

(you know i will) 

the thousands of miles will not make me love you less 



so i'll see the world while you stay home 

and i'll drive these roads paved in loneliness 



the dotted lines show us where we're supposed to go 

we stay inside them in fear that we'll lose control 

the night falls and the lights they provoke a thought of you 



so think what you want of me 

i'm leaving 

i'll be falling asleep at the wheel 



for once in my life i can say i am right about something 

i've never been this positively certain 

i'm leaving 



fill me up with unleaded regular 

we've got 500 miles before this night is over 

by this time tomorow i'll be filling up again 



so think what you want of me 

i'm leaving 

i'll be falling asleep at the wheel 



trace the moment 

trace the time 

find the second i lost my mind 

'cause i've been thinking for the longest time about me and you 



so i'll see the world while you stay home 

(ive been thinking about me and you) 

and i'll drive these roads paved in loneliness 

(ive been thinking about me and you) 



so i'll see the world while you stay home 

(what are we going to do?) 

and i'll drive these roads paved in loneliness 

(what are we going to do?) 



for once in my life i can say i am right about something 

i've never been this positively certain 

i'm leaving
