Keeping my eyes on the road this time around
Keeping my hands pressed to the wheel
Something so strange as a woman's got me down
Ain't gonna be your damn fool again
Drivin' tonight just to ease my mind
A man in this mood is a most dangerous kind
But there was a time when my head went blind
Couldn't see the sign at the time
Years would go by before I wondered who
Or where or what or why
Lovin' you was like lovin' a house on fire
Burnin' and learnin' baby
When the damage was done
And now I'm tired and scared and wide open
To the rest of my life
And I almost, almost had it all
Oh I'm sick and tired and I'm hopin'
That a cure will be found
'Cause I can't stop thinking 'bout you
I can't stop thinking 'bout you
Here face to face with what I've been running from all these years
Hangs a dark cloud over the moon
Pull off to this roadside dive and maybe check my sobriety
Order a tall cold ginger ale
And thinkin' about those days when I was
Lovin' you was sort of like
Lovin' a fifth of the finest bourbon
Was it your quality or high quantity
That has put me in the shape I'm in
Now I'm tired and I'm scared and wide open
And I almost, almost had it all
I'm foolin' myself by thinking that a cure will be found
'Cause I can't stop thinking 'bout you
I can't stop thinking 'bout you
