The sun came cuttin' through a faded curtain In a rented out motel room Didn't care if I was hurtin' And I knew for certain It was only there to light up the truth I was all out of luck Had to pack it all up 'Cause that's just what you do When the dream your chasin' Ain't been chasin' you Don't get tied to the tracks Ain't no life lookin' back Yeah, cause pretty girls leave And guitar dreams run a highway through your soul So pick your favorite trainwreck and roll Had another one waitin' Yeah, I'm just sayin' It wasn't right, but she was there She was all for the takin' She was all for the makin' A one-night love affair But I didn't hang around I slipped out of the town, like a thief in the night How do you tell somebody there's a million reasons why? Don't get tied to the tracks Ain't no life lookin' back Yeah, cause pretty girls leave And guitar dreams run a highway through your soul So pick your favorite trainwreck and roll Like the engine ain't slowing down Roll like the engine's waitin' in the next neon town Don't get tied to the tracks Ain't no life, don't go lookin' back 'Cause pretty girls leave And guitar dreams run a highway through your soul So pick your favorite trainwreck and Pick your favorite trainwreck and Pick your favorite trainwreck and roll Yeah
