It's four o'clock in the morning
And I've been driving since midnight
The stretch of pavement ahead of me and
The headlights on my left are streaks of white
I didn't mean to hurt you like this
I messed it all up, I'll admit
I didn't mean to drive you away
And now I'm looking for the next exit
And I've been drinking so long
I can barely see my hands at the wheel
And I've been weeping so long
One look at me would tell you how I feel
So I'll keep on driving I-65
While you keep on sleeping peacefully
And I'll keep following the glaring red eyes
Of the brake lights in front of me
And I'll tell you one last thing
As I start to drift into the blinding sun
I briefly chased after the greatest glory
And even when I crash I've won
So I'm taking off, taking off
The car burning up, burning up
My skin rotting off, rotting off
At least I never gave you up
So I'm taking off, taking off
The car burning up, burning up
My skin rotting off, rotting off
At least I never gave you up
