The Road Instead

I told you I was leaving, said that I was moving on
Now I'm sure enough grieving, lord knows it didn't take long
May be right, I may be wrong, maybe in between somewhere
And maybe someday I'll be better at pretending that I don't care
It's the same old story of a lonely guy
Who let the world get to his head
It's a damn long trip, it's a lonesome drive
When you choose the road instead
Two night stands and a four-piece band, city lights and hotel beds
It's always just a matter of time before your memory finds my head
The sunrise in Texas will find me sleeping on the floor
In a world of sin I'll be wondering why I keep coming back for more
It's the same old story of a lonely guy
Who let the world get to his head
It's a damn long trip, it's a lonesome drive
When you choose the road instead
Oh it's nothing but miles and misery
When you give up love to chase your dreams
I'd say I learned my lesson, say I won't be here no more
I wish it was the first time, yeah but I've been here before
I think the worst part's knowing you love her and being 200 miles away
Feeling like you gave her half your heart at the end of every day
It's the same old story of a lonely guy
Who let the world get to his head
It's a damn long trip, it's a lonesome drive
When you choose the road instead

Dreamer

There's a girl on 17th, with hungry eyes and crazy dreams
A heart of gold and open arms, she calls me in the night
There's a highway west of town, it lifts me up, it drags me down
It pulls me far away from you, it calls me in the night
There's a girl that I did meet when I first walked these city streets
She said you'll never make it in this town, and she told me not to dream
Just a rambler born to roam, I skipped the town just like a stone
I can still hear it call me back, but that never was for me
I've always been a dreamer, and the highway calls my name
So I hang on to freedom as I wish the world away
A cowboy dreams of honky-tonks, of whiskey drinks and lonesome songs
A moving train, a river bank, and a bed that you can fold
She dreams of solid ground, a nine-to-five, a quiet town
Where you can dream your life away and do just what you're told
I've always been a dreamer, and the highway calls my name
So I hang on to freedom as I wish the world away

Caroline, you Jezebel
Your kiss will send me straight to hell
I love you girl, but you don't know my name
I see you on the town at night
I long to stare into your eyes
Girls like you think love is just a game
It was love before I knew the word
Like music to a mockingbird
Staring in your eyes, like headlights to a deer
We were poor and times were tough
Your daddy was the county judge
Might as well forget it, yeah he told me loud and clear
Downtown on the boulevard
I set out just to steal a car
A record was the last thing on my mind
The flashing of the red and blue
To think I did it all for you
Seems that I may never call you mine
Caroline, you Jezebel
Your kiss will send me straight to hell
I love you girl, but you don't know my name
I see you on the town at night
I long to stare into your eyes
Girls like you think love is just a game
Looking back on lessons learned
Those girls are found at every turn
I was a fool for thinking you were worth the pain
But you can search and you can find
A girl just like my Caroline
She'll always leave you standing in the rain
Caroline, you Jezebel
Your kiss will send me straight to hell
I love you girl, but you don't know my name
I see you on the town at night
I long to stare into your eyes
Girls like you think love is just a game
