I've been taking backroads

A little too slow

Yeah, I'm out in the middle of nowhere, got nowhere to go

I'm holdin' on tight

This bottle in my hand

Yeah, ever since you hurt me like that I ain't been the same man.

So, tell me what I got to do

To somehow get over you

I'm tired of being all alone

Tell me where I went wrong

I took your ring, gave it a fling

And I sat and watched it sink on down

But I just can't get your memory to drown.

Another lonely drive

Another show tonight

Yeah, take the stage and act like I'm doin' alright

Pour my soul out

To one more crowd

I got thousands and thousands of people tryin' to figure me out.

So, tell me what I got to do

To somehow get over you

I'm tired of being all alone

Tell me where I went wrong

I take a drink, I sit and think

And then I'll order up one more round

I just can't get your memory to drown.

Maybe it's the whiskey

Maybe it's that one thing I can't find

Maybe it's that true love

I know we had it one time.

So, tell me what I got to do

To somehow get over you

I'm tired of being all alone

Tell me where I went wrong

I take a drink, I sit and think

And then I order up another round

But I just can't get your memory to drown.

I take a drink, I sit and think

And then I order up another round

But I just can't get your memory to drown.
