New Strings

I bet this road will take me outta here

Take me far away from Amarillo

I bet this car will go real fast

The wheels might even drive me past

Places that you said I'd never go, oh

Texas sky is the biggest one I've seen

But it still ain't big enough for you and me

All the things that make you mad

And all the baggage in your past

Don't leave much room for a girl like me to be

So, I'll fill 'er up with hope and worn out dreams

And I'll grab the wheel and I'll point it West

Pack the good and leave the rest

I'll drive until I find the missing piece

You said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas and an empty heart

But I got everything I'll ever need

I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings

Mama said I never should have done it

Should have ended it before we ever started

Daddy knew about my pride, so he stood there and he smiled inside

I pretended that I didn't notice

A little tear that fell when I said I was goin'

And I'll grab the wheel and I'll point it West

Pack the good and leave the rest

And drive until I find the missing piece

You said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas and an empty heart

And I got everything I'll ever need

I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings

And I've worried about life and if it's right and right on time

I guess if you don't jump, you'll never know if you can fly

You said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas and an empty heart

But I got everything I'll ever need

I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings
