What I Need to Do

I keep tellin' myself this is the right thing to do

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, where 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

And drive as fast as I can till I see the lights of our hometown and

Run to her and 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

And eighty-seven more miles gets me into Baton Rouge

And there's a buddy of mine, who said he

Some work that I can do

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

And drive as fast as I can till I see the lights of our hometown and

Run to her and 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
