Version 1
[Intro]
G D Em C G D Em C G D C G Cadd9 G Cadd9
slow picking once strumming
[Verse 1]
G Cadd9
I keep tellin' myself this is the right thing to do
G Cadd9
I was wastin' her time, waitin' on dreams that just weren't comin' true
G Cadd9
And this old highway seems to understand
G Cadd9
Leadin’ me on to somewhere that no one knows my name
Em C
I got the window rolled down, I got the radio up
Em D
I'm doin' all I can to get my mind off us
[Chorus]
G D
What I need to do is turn this car around
Em C
Drive as fast as I can til I see the lights of our hometown
G D
And run to her, take her in my arms
Em C
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard
G D C G Cadd9
But I drive on, and on, and on
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9
Eighty-seven more miles gets me into Baton Rogue
G Cadd9
There's a buddy of mine who says he might find some work that I can do
G Cadd9
Or maybe head up north to Knoxville, Tennessee
G Cadd9
I know my baby sister, has gotta couch where I can sleep
Em C
Now the sun's goin down on my broken heart
Em D
Lord, I gotta go back before I go too far
[Chorus]
G D
What I need to do is turn this car around
Em C
Drive as fast as I can til I see the lights of our hometown
G D
And run to her, take her in my arms
Em C
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard
G D C
But I drive on,
G D C G Cadd9
Yes I drive on, and on, and on
[Outro]
G Cadd9
Knowin what I need to do
G
Girl, I'm comin home to you
Cadd9 G Cadd9
soft picking
G Cadd9
Knowin what I need to do
G Cadd9
Girl I'm comin home to you
G Cadd9
I'm comin home to you
G Cadd9
Knowin what I need to do...
