Coping comes when I turn that key
To forget the way you looked at me
Label drinking
To get you off my mind
Strands of hair sitting next to me
Only part of you that didn't leave
Covered by that box of health to medicate
Yeah I'll medicate
Headlights in a nothing town
Blasting noise all the way just to drown out sounds
Of painful cries
Of you not with me
Just a simple man of black and white
Who promised you a better life
That you tossed away
So now I'll go back
Back to drivin'
Back to cryin'
Back to my home
Back on the backroads
Back on the
Backroads are talking to me late at night
From downing all them drinks
To getting too high
'Cause when you left me for another man
I slammed another twelve as fast as I can
To feel numb
To everything we had
I just want it back the way it was
Without you repeating all my past
Headlights in a nothing town
Blasting noise all the way just to drown out sounds
Of painful cries
Of you not with me
Just a simple man of black and white
Who promised you a better life
That you tossed away
So now I'll go back
Back to drivin'
Back to cryin'
Back to my home
Back on the backroads
Are made for you and me
To bandage up what you don't see
'Cause I hide myself
To keep from being hurt
But I pushed myself to let you in
Just for you to go behind my back again
And I know
That pushing it down just makes it worse
(Oh yeah it makes it worse)
But I'm flashing my
Headlights in a nothing town
Trying everything I can just to get you out of my head
'Cause you're not coming back
And I knew our time was set in stone
In the moments where I took too long
To open up
But I'm not made for that
Back to drivin'
Back to cryin'
Back to my home
Back on the backroads
