She Drives Away

You knocked on the door, her daddy opened it up Said she'll be down in ten, let's sit and have us a talk Don't keep her mama up waitin', keep them eyes on the road You think he's just out to get you, and you don't even know She drives away and he's scared to death You hold the wheel, he holds his breath You ain't thinking 'bout it, thinking how it feels like yesterday He drove her home, now she drives away A little down the road, you call him outta the blue Tell him you bought a ring, next thing, you're saying, " I do" He's fighting tears while they're dancing to "My Little Girl" It ain't just cans on a Chevy, it's his whole world She drives away and he's scared to death You hold the wheel, he holds his breath You ain't thinking 'bout it, thinking how it feels like yesterday He drove her home, now she drives away Now l've been up all night in Room 203 It's like they took out my heart and wrapped it in pink Yeah, it all just kinda hit me, put tears on my face Ain't even got her in the car seat, and I'm dreading the day When she drives away and I'm scared to death Still ain't caught mine, since her first breath 16 years from now, it's gonna feel like yesterday That I drove her home when she drives away When she drives away When she drives away
