(Bill Luther/Tom Damphier)

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 Rouge
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 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....

G Cadd9
I keep tellin myself this is the right thing to do

G Cadd9
I was wastin her time, waitin on dreams that just weren't comin true

G Cadd9
And this old highway seems to understand

G Cadd9
Leadin me on to somewhere that no one knows my name

Em G (or C whichever you like better)
I got the window rolled down, I got the radio up

Em D
I'm doin a ll that I can to get my mind off us

G D
What I need to do is turn this car around

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

G D
And run to her, take her in my arms

Em C
Make her see how sorry I am, well that s houldn't be so hard

G D C G
But I dri ve on, and on, an d on

VERSE 2 just like verse one. if you know the song it should be easy placing the chords
the right spot.

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 go bak before I get too far

CHORUS AGAIN

THIS IS THE END OF THE CHORUS vvvv
G D C
But I dri ve o n

G D C G
Yes I d ri ve on, and on, and on

THEN THE SONG GOES BACK TO G TO CADD9 AND USES THESE FOR THE REST OF THE SONG

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...
