Still Three Shy

The interstates and eighteen wheelers The sketches on the rest stop bathroom stalls I call her from a hotel pay phone So far from it all The odometer is hypnotizing The tires turn the dirt for miles and miles I wanna see the Nashville skyline Only for a while 'Cause I heard about the party last night I heard that there were drugs and fist fights When all I see are miles of streetlights That's when I miss home So I try, try, try to forget it But I die inside every time I miss it 'Cause you're still three shy, don't you forget It's not a party when we're gone And if the cops come by, have a drink And tell them this one's for the boys And I will try, try, try to forget That I'm gone A thousand miles until the ocean Casinos sit a couple miles ahead The city's in the rear view mirror Tennessee's in bed And I'm drinking at the Blackjack table A cigarette is hanging from my lips My head is spinning round in circles As I take a sip 'Cause I heard you split a cab right last night I hope you found your way home alright 'Cause underneath a sea of bright lights I feel alright here And I try, try, try to forget it But I die inside every time I miss it 'Cause you're still three shy, don't you forget It's not a party when we're gone And if the cops come by, have a drink And tell them this one's for the boys And I will try, try, try to forget That I'm gone And I try, try, try to forget it But I die inside every time I miss it 'Cause you're still three shy, don't you forget It's not a party when we're gone And if the cops come by, have a drink And tell them this one's for the boys And I will try, try, try to forget Yes, I would try, try, try to forget I'm gonna try, try, try to forget That I'm gone
