Interstate 37 is paved with good intentions   I'm prob'ly 50 years from heaven   But I'm 15 miles from hell   With two lanes to myself      So thank God for Derek and Jesse   For pouring out their hearts to me   Side by side in my back seat   They never let me down   So I don't need anybody now      And I did my best to pretend   That I'm gonna' see you again   And I may cross your mind   Before I cross the state line   But if I don't call, don't be surprised   That's what I meant by goodbye      Just 'cause I don't know where I'm headed   That don't mean I'm lost   I'm an empty can kicked across an empty parking lot   And this is all that I could ever want      So I'll do my best to pretend   That I'm gonna' see you again   And I may cross your mind   Before I cross the state line   But if I don't call, don't be surprised   That's what I meant by goodbye      I didn't say I'd see you later   'Cause I know that I might not      Yellow lights are yellin' at me   On the edge of town   And one cold night in Corpus Christi   Is not enough to make me turn around   Much less make me settle down      So I'll do my best to pretend   That I'm gonna' see you again   And I may cross your mind   Before I cross the state line   But if I don't call, don't be surprised   That's what I meant by goodbye   Goodbye   And I may cross your mind   Before I cross the state line   But if I don't call, don't be surprised   Don't be surprised, baby   That's what I meant by goodbye
