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
