I'll be halfway to Salinas
By the time you find I've gone
And in case you don't believe the words I said
When you wake you'll find a letter
In it all the things you've done
To get me on the highway once again
Well, I made a list of reasons loving you proved to be wrong
And I tried to find a way to make it end
I've decide that the best way
Was to take the night on
And drive until the sun comes up again
Well, I wasn't quite expecting
For goodbye to take so long
If I listen here seated, begin to sense it ending
I'll be halfway to Salinas
With the echo of a song
And the humming of the motor in my head
And I got an unclear conscience
About this one thing I did wrong
Leaving you without a notice, in the darkness all alone
All trough the night I was tempted
To turn and hold you one night more
But I had to keep my headlights on the road
Still, leaving is troubling my mind
Got stay in the course and in the lines
Can't think of the good times
And when the darkness tries to take me from all sight
I look ahead and keep my eyes where the light shines
