[Verse 1]

I'm leavin'

The words fall out my mouth and onto the floor

I'm needin', yeah

To pack up my bags and walk right out the door

This is goodbye

I'll roll the windows down in my old Chevrolet

Don't know where I'm goin'

I just know that I can't stay

[Chorus]

Might make it to Memphis

But that ain't far enough

I'll speed down the highway to Tulsa, Missouri

So fast that the hurt can't catch up

I'm burnin' your memory

One mile at a time

All the way to Tacoma

By then I hope you're out of my mind

[Verse 2]

I'm thinkin'

With a truck stop song and a cold cup of coffee

I'm drinkin'

Yeah, I'm hurtin' like hell, but honey how could I not be

You made me

Oh, the joke and the fool, the last one to know

So, I'm gonna put mountains and deserts and rivers between us

Go as far as I can go

[Chorus]

Might make it to Memphis

That ain't far enough

I'll speed down the highway to Tulsa, Missouri

So fast that the hurt can't catch up

I'm burnin' your memory

One mile at a time

All the way to Tacoma

By then I hope you're out of my mind

[Bridge]

Might leave some tears in Topeka

A couple sleepless nights in Cheyenne

Every time that I miss you, baby

I'll hit the gas as fast as I can

[Outro]

Might make it to Memphis

The Kansas City line

All the way to Tacoma

By then I hope you're out of my mind

All the way to Tacoma

By then I hope you're out of my mind
