The Way I Feel - Mary Chapin Carpenter

I’m heading out without a tear

I’m heading out without a fight

Nothing like this empty road

To take some trouble off my mind

Had enough of sad days

Had enough of sleepless nights

I only need a tank of gas

Babe I’m going for a ride

Cause when I’m all alone on a midnight highway

There’s nothing like two hands on the wheel

And the radio playing I Won’t Back Down

Baby that’s about the way I feel

Might be gone a couple of hours

Might be gone a couple of days

I won’t know til I turn around

We’ll have to see just how it plays

All the way down 81

I’ve got some friends in Nashville

Atlanta it’s been way too long

By morning I’ll make Asheville

Cause when I’m all alone on a midnight highway

There’s nothing like two hands on the wheel

And the way the wind blows just before a rainstorm

Baby that’s about the way I feel

Don’t know if you tried to call

My phone ran out of signal

I don’t know if you miss me at all:

'Cause I’m out here all alone on a midnight highway

And I’ve got both hands on the wheel

Passing darkened towns the world’s forgotten

Baby that’s about the way I feel

Just a little speck on the far horizon

Baby that’s about the way I feel

And I won’t back down
