Things I'm Going Through

I was sittin' at home all alone when the phone rang My old man on the line sayin' "What's up, son? Tell me some new things" I didn't have the heart to tell him she was gone, gone, gone So I just lied, said "Pop, here's what's going on, on, on" I'm goin' 25 down a backroad Just burnin' gas, you know how that goes With a cross breeze cross me Dog up in the front seat Talkin' anything, but the truth Got Shelton on the station, playin' "Kiss my ass" Goddamn, thinkin' I ain't doin' too bad From his point of view, this green grass countryside And a fresh can of chew Are the only things I'm goin' through I could tell him I've been drinkin', that she ain't around no more But he'd take a two-hour ride in his '95 Ford I told him she was gone for the weekend Yeah, it's easier than tellin' him I've gone off the deep end, so I'm goin' 25 down a backroad Just burnin' gas, you know how that goes With a cross breeze cross me Dog up in the front seat Talkin' anything, but the truth Got Shelton on the station, playin' "Kiss my ass" Goddamn, thinkin' I ain't doin' too bad From his point of view, this green grass countryside And a fresh can of chew Are the only things I'm goin' through Goin' through these bottles Goin' through this pain Ran through half a pack sittin' 'round today Since you've been gone, I've been to hell and back All I can tell him is that I'm goin' 25 down a backroad Just burnin' gas, you know how that goes With a cross breeze cross me Dog up in the front seat Talkin' anything but the truth Got Shelton on the station, playin' "Kiss my ass" Goddamn, thinkin' I ain't doin' too bad From his point of view, this green grass countryside And a fresh can of chew Are the only things I'm goin' through
