Lyrics
(Verse One) There's a quiet in my mind tonight.
I finally believe that things will be alright without you by my side.
As the headlights stab into the dark
My only farewell is a lonely stray dogs bark at my car that's speeding by.
(Chorus) I'm leaving town down that long and lonely highway
Where true love is afraid to go.
I won't listen to those memories, no matter how seductively they call to me or I won't ever be free.
(Verse Two) Got my hands upon the steering wheel.
Got a tighter grip upon my heart so it can't feel; got to keep it cold as steel.
The only line that I'll believe again is the one that leads me down that road that never ends; til my broken heart can heal.
(Repeat Chorus)
