Ever since that night you walked out   I just ain't been the same ol' me   I've barely had the strength   To leave the couch to turn on my TV      But a man can't hide away forever   And last night I finally told me so   I knew I had to get out   But I knew I had to take it slow      So I burned down this town   A honky tonk at a time   I got loud and checked out   Every cute little cowgirl I could hold   Getting over you is still a long ways away, I swear      Last night was one small step   But you gotta start somewhere   Think I feel a little better   A little more like the man I used to be   I ain't saying that I'm there yet      But I can see some possibilities   When your motor ain't been fired up lately   You can't just jam it in gear and go   I know I'm still not up to speed   But last night I had to test the road
