I Will Ramble On - Blacktop Mojo

The tires on the asphalt are screaming out the name

Of a girl back in Dallas, yea she’s the one to blame

For playing with my heart, fooling with my soul

How could I believe she was the half that made me whole?

This road’s my only comfort as the peddle hits the floor

Trying to outrun this hurt I’ll feel forevermore

I look into the rearview;

I see a face from the past

In this race against the pain, I’m coming in last

(‘Cause) My head it is a drifting like the sunlight through the trees

In this fast car bound for nowhere back to her memory

I can still taste her lies in every single kiss

Betrayal in her eyes, the poison in her lips

The only thing left to do now is run

So I will ramble on

In every quiet town I pass along this road

I always get the feeling that everybody knows

That I’m running from something that I just can’t escape

I can’t go back now, no, I fear that it’s too late

Up there on the dashboard, the reason I must keep away

A bullet rolling round, on the side I’ve scratched her name

As this sadness turns to anger and I run out of gas

I’m terrified of what I’ll do if I ever turn back
