Lyrics
Twelve hours of starin' at these same white lines
I was looking for a new way to pass the time
When I passed a young man who looked like he could use a friend
So I stopped and let him in
I didn't have to ask him why he was leavin' that town
Only a woman can knock a man that far down
But when I finally asked him where he was headed to
He said it don't really matter, mister anyplace will do
Just drive, keep these wheels turnin'
No matter how much I look back, or how bad I'm still yearning
To hear her voice, feel her touch,
Get back those things I miss so much, but I lost that life
So please don't turn around, just drive
Late that night we pulled in to Birmingham
I told him that's as far as I could go, and he shook my hand
I watched him climb into a four by four
He waved goodbye, as he slammed the door
And as they passed me, I thought I could hear him say
Mister it don't really matter, I've just gotta get away
(Chorus)
