Pedal Down

I saw you sitting there smiling in a shotgun seat
I guess you meant it when you said to me
We're 'bout as over as over could be
It's been a rough couple weeks

'Cause, baby, I've been
With women and whiskey, been puttin' miles in
To things that ain't good for me, now I'm drivin'
'Cause, damn, I've had enough
And it ain't lookin' up

So I put the pedal down, pedal down
I hit the road and I ain't turnin' 'round, turnin' 'round
I'm cryin' tears up on this highway shoulder
Swerving the line to holding on and closure
Yeah, I put the pedal down, pedal down
Not eatin' nothing, man, I'm headin' south, headin' south
I couldn't be all that you wanted
You left this bedroom haunted
And, damn, it's like a ghost town
Yeah, so I put the pedal down

Wish I'd've heard it through a friend of mine
Instead of seein' it with my own damn eyes
But now I'm runnin' and gunnin'
From something I loved and once was mine, yeah

Yeah, I put the pedal down, pedal down
I hit the road and I ain't turnin' 'round, turnin' 'round
I'm cryin' tears up on this highway shoulder
Swerving the line to holding on and closure
Yeah, I put the pedal down, pedal down
Not eatin' nothing, man, I'm headin' south, headin' south
I couldn't be all that you wanted
You left this bedroom haunted
And, damn, it's like a ghost town
Yeah, so I put the pedal down

Yeah, you totally moved on, now I'm running on empty
Even though you're gone, yeah, you're still here with me

So I put that pedal down
I hit that road and I ain't turnin' 'round
My tears are flooded on this highway shoulder
Swerving the line to holding on and closure
So I put the pedal down, pedal down
I-65, and, man, I'm headin' south, headin' south
I couldn't be all that you wanted
You left this bedroom haunted
And, damn, it's like a ghost town
Yeah, so I put that pedal down
Oh, I put the pedal down
Oh, I put the pedal down
