G  D  Em  C  G  D  Em  C  G D  C      G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9
slow picking                   once   strumming

[Verse 1]
          G                              Cadd9
I keep tellin' myself this is the right thing to do
          G                                   Cadd9
I was wastin' her time, waitin' on dreams that just weren't comin' true
         G           Cadd9
And this old highway seems to understand
G                             Cadd9
Leadin’ me on to somewhere that no one knows my name
              Em                        C
I got the window rolled down, I got the radio up
             Em               D
I'm doin' all I can to get my mind off us

[Chorus]
       G             D
What I need to do is turn this car around
Em                          C
Drive as fast as I can til I see the lights of our hometown
    G                    D
And run to her, take her in my arms
Em                                     C
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard
      G D C                         G   Cadd9
But I drive on, and on, and on

[Verse 2]
       G                       Cadd9
Eighty-seven more miles gets me into Baton Rogue
          G                                       Cadd9
There's a buddy of mine who says he might find some work that I can do
         G                Cadd9
Or maybe head up north to Knoxville, Tennessee
  G                            Cadd9
I know my baby sister, has gotta couch where I can sleep
        Em                    C
Now the sun's goin down on my broken heart
        Em                     D
Lord, I gotta go back before I go too far

[Chorus]
       G             D
What I need to do is turn this car around
Em                          C
Drive as fast as I can til I see the lights of our hometown
    G                    D
And run to her, take her in my arms
Em                                C
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard
      G D C
But I drive on,
      G D C                  G   Cadd9
Yes I drive on, and on, and on

[Outro]
              G        Cadd9
Knowin what I need to do
               G
Girl, I'm comin home to you

Cadd9   G   Cadd9
soft picking
               G          Cadd9
Knowin what I need to do
               G          Cadd9
Girl I'm comin home to you
           G          Cadd9
I'm comin home to you
              G          Cadd9
Knowin what I need to do...
