Duration: P00H03M57S
Description: I wrote this as I was turning 40. It's a great song and almost got on our local "country" station. However, and I quote "When you put it alongside Dwight Yoakum's latest release it doesn't quite leave the park" Yah and Dwight probably had$10,000.00's behind his recording and I had $2300.00 behind the entire project.

lyrics

I’m a drivin down the highway but I got no
place to go
And these wheels are rollin down a long and lonesome road.
Don’t know where I’m headed, but I do know where I’ve been
And I gotta keep on goin’ ‘til I find my self again

Well my gears startin slippin on the 401 of life
My heart took a right and left me outta sight
The wipers are slappin out a rhythm that numbs my mind
And the roads getting longer as my tranny starts to whine

Baby Baby baby, pretty baby doll
The way were livin was no livin at all
You broke my heart and, packed my bags
You sent me on my way
But I aint got a road map now I’ve lost my way

When the goin’ gets tough don’t take your eyes off the line
I guess the tough keep goin and they leave the past behind
If you ask me where I’m headed,
Here’s just what I’ll say
“I really don’t know, but I know I’m on my way”
