don't talk back lyrics

Well, it's half my heart and a little bit of soul
That makes me feel I've wanna ride this road
I wouldn't change it if I could

And me and this road you know
We've got an understanding
It won't leave me at home and I am
Too tired to do just what I should

And last night I asked if I could
Take comfort in the rosewood
The road said nothing at all

Well, 'cause it don't talk back
Unless the wind blows hard
I drive it all night with the wheel on my car
It won't leave me running for the door

And if the paint's still wet, I can just slow down
And it all goes away on the other side of town
And nothing is that easy anymore

Well, the hurt won't leave with the sight of white line
But it eases up my pain for a while
The only habit that I keep

And miles take time but the time is mine
And always moving suits me fine
I'll catch my breath when I sleep

And after all that I've done
I'm not half what I'd hope that I'd become
There's still a long way to go

Well, 'cause it don't talk back
Unless the wind blows hard
I drive it all night with the wheel on my car
It won't leave me running for the door

And if the paint's still wet, I can just slow down
And it all goes away on the other side of town
And nothing is that easy anymore

And last night I asked if I could
Take comfort in the rosewood
The road said nothing at all

Well, 'cause it don't talk back
Unless the wind blows hard
I drive it all night with the wheel on my car
It won't leave me running for the door

And if the paint's still wet, I can just slow down
And it all goes away on the other side of town
And nothing is that easy anymore

Yeah, 'cause it don't talk back
Unless the wind blows hard
I drive it all night with the wheel on my car
It won't leave me running for the door

And if the paint's still wet, I can just slow down
And it all goes away on the other side of town
And nothing is that easy anymore
