Stuffed my heart in a bag and I slammed the back door   If I get home, it'd be a home no more   Took off runnin' in the middle of the night   I was aimed for anything that felt half right      Look out, baby, I'm gone on a little ride   I see my name written in the center line   Moon looks, good air is cool   Every bone been broken in the golden rule      Well, I'm flyin through Dothan with my radio   Taylor's Ole Time Opry's playin' Hank Snow   Sing's my nightmares in his song   I said I'm with ya, man, I'm just movin' on      Look out, baby, your wish came true   You got your freedom, the house and the whole canoe   I got the things that I need   I took the car, my pride and three pairs of jeans      My brain is bleedin', got nails in my spine   But I ain't gon' stop 'fore that empty line   Radio's fadin', road's like a snake   It's two in the mornin' and I'm wide awake      Look out, baby, Gates of Eden got closed   But New Orlean's open, see the pretty lights glow   I'm goin' in to get myself lost and found   And it didn't take too god damn long to tear a good thing down      It may not be ideal   But at least we're not running at the mouth   I-10 to San Antone   Woke up and went south      Fleeced at the border   For thirty five and some change   But that's a small price to pay   Runnin' from the pain      Look out, baby, I'm gone on a little ride   There's a brush fire on the highway, gonna burn both side   Wish I could throw our sins in the flame and smoke   I'll call you up if and when I reach home      Gone on a ride, baby, I'm gone   I'm gone on a ride, yeah, baby, I'm gone   I'm gone on a ride, yeah, I'm gone, gone, gone   I'm gone on a ride , I'm gone, gone, gone      Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone   Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone   Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone      And you can kiss it bye, bye, bye
