I'm heading out without a tear
I'm heading out without a fight
Nothing like this empty road
To take some trouble off my mind
Had enough of sad days
Had enough of sleepless nights
I only need a tank of gas
Babe I'm going for a ride
Cause when I'm all alone on a midnight highway
There's nothing like two hands on the wheel
And the radio playing I Won't Back Down
Baby that's about the way I feel
Might be gone a couple of hours
Might be gone a couple of days
I won't know til I turn around
We'll have to see just how it plays
All the way down 81
I've got some friends in Nashville
Atlanta it's been way too long
By morning I'll make Asheville
Cause when I'm all alone on a midnight highway
There's nothing like two hands on the wheel
And the way the wind blows just before a rainstorm
Baby that's about the way I feel
Don't know if you tried to call
My phone ran out of signal
I don't know if you miss me at all:
'Cause I'm out here all alone on a midnight highway
And I've got both hands on the wheel
Passing darkened towns the world's forgotten
Baby that's about the way I feel
Just a little speck on the far horizon
Baby that's about the way I feel
And I won't back down
