kenny chesney - what i need to do lyrics

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 that 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 get 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
