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've got the window rolled down I've 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 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 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
