I'm chasin' them tar snakes Outrunnin' this heartache More gas and less brakes, far as the eye can see I'm hopin' this white line Wipes you from my mind Like bleach and turpentine, wipes my memory clean The thought of you is such a heavy load I bear that burden of your ghost in every place I go I never learned the luxury of learnin' how to cope So now I'm gonna hit that open road I'm chasin' them tar snakes Outrunnin' this heartache More gas and less brakes, far as the eye can see I'm hopin' this white line Wipes you from my mind Like bleach and turpentine, wipes my memory clean The truest form of love you were to me That's why I had to leave this town and save my dignity Every place I go is just as haunted as the last Your smile is in the bottom of every empty glass I'm chasin' them tar snakes Outrunnin' this heartache More gas and less brakes, far as the eye can see I'm hopin' this white line Wipes you from my mind, like bleach and turpentine Wipes my memory clean Like bleach and turpentine Wipes my memory clean
