The interstates and eighteen wheelers   The sketches on the rest stop bathroom stalls   I call her from a hotel pay phone   So far from it all      The odometer is hypnotizing   The tires turn the dirt for miles and miles   I wanna see the Nashville skyline   Only for a while      'Cause I heard about the party last night   I heard that there were drugs and fist fights   When all I see are miles of streetlights   That's when I miss home      So I try, try, try to forget it   But I die inside every time I miss it   'Cause you're still three shy, don't you forget   It's not a party when we're gone      And if the cops come by, have a drink   And tell them this one's for the boys   And I will try, try, try to forget   That I'm gone      A thousand miles until the ocean   Casinos sit a couple miles ahead   The city's in the rear view mirror   Tennessee's in bed      And I'm drinking at the Blackjack table   A cigarette is hanging from my lips   My head is spinning round in circles   As I take a sip      'Cause I heard you split a cab right last night   I hope you found your way home alright   'Cause underneath a sea of bright lights   I feel alright here      And I try, try, try to forget it   But I die inside every time I miss it   'Cause you're still three shy, don't you forget   It's not a party when we're gone      And if the cops come by, have a drink   And tell them this one's for the boys   And I will try, try, try to forget   That I'm gone      And I try, try, try to forget it   But I die inside every time I miss it   'Cause you're still three shy, don't you forget   It's not a party when we're gone      And if the cops come by, have a drink   And tell them this one's for the boys   And I will try, try, try to forget   Yes, I would try, try, try to forget   I'm gonna try, try, try to forget   That I'm gone
