I left that sun sinkin' west in California

I was supposed to say in LA a few more weeks

But the next time that old sun and I meet up

I'll be a thousand miles east



Fifty dollars and a gas card in my pocket

That I'm thinkin' might already be maxed out

That's just one of those little crazy things

I really didn't stop to think about



'Cause when a man wants to be with a woman

There ain't no way of gettin' there too fast

When you know who you wanna spend

The rest of your life with you wanna start

The rest of your life

As soon as you can



That state trooper let me off with just a warnin'

And a promise that I'd try to slow her down

Man that promise was forgotten

By the time I'd gotten two miles out of town



'Cause when a man wants to be with a woman

There ain't no way of gettin' there too fast

When you know who you wanna spend

The rest of your life with you wanna start

The rest of your life

As soon as you can



Don't know how much a truck can handle

But the closer that I get I keep pushin' it



'Cause when a man wants to be with a woman

There ain't no way of gettin' there too fast

When you know who you wanna spend

The rest of your life with you wanna start

The rest of your life

You can't wait to start the rest of your life

As soon as you can

As soon as you can

As soon as you can
