Lyrics
You say I'm wrong and that I've Lied, I say your silly and paranoid You say that sometimes you wish you never met me And I say your just like the rest of your clan and you say I'm acting like my old man I shout out I've had enough of this You yell out don't raise your voice, I say I ain't shouting yet I slam the door and I'm heading for the road
And I drive,cause the road takes all the pain and I turn my music up so loud, it drives my anger away
And the wheels they push me far away and the rear view mirror reminds me of the things I shouldn't have said
And how sometimes, the road my only way
I stop my car and I settle down, try to get my head around How things started off and how it all ended So I turn my wheels and I head back home Life with you is all I've known Hoping that those words are all forgotten Sometimes words get in the way, of all the things I'm trying to say I find myself just loosing all control
And I drive,cause the road takes all the pain and I turn my music up so loud it drives my anger away
And the wheels they push me far away and the rear view mirror reminds me of the things I shouldn't have said And how sometimes, the road my only way
