lyrics

D A
Driving cross country in a Cadillac
Bm G
The top is down and there's no turning back
8-track tapes and a full tank of gas
Dreaming of whiskey in a heavy shot glass

Headed for Lansing, be there by morning
The boy in blue only gave me a warning
He said watch that speed keep it under the limit
I actually obeyed but just for a minute

D E
Cause I left it all behind
G D
My life, my love my peace of mind
D E
I left a note, unsigned
G A D
When I left it all behind

I can feel the blood dying in my veins
I can feel the tightening of the chains
But I gotta drive just another mile
Drive away from her smile

It's big and bold and full of life
Who knows, she coulda been my wife
But some things aren't meant to be
Some things aren't meant for me

D E
Cause I left it all behind
G D
My life, my love my peace of mind
D E
I left a note, unsigned
G A D
When I left it all behind
