what i need to do lyrics

I keep tellin' myself, this is the right thing to do
I was wastin' her time, waitin' on dreams that just weren't comin' true
And this old highway seems to understand
Leadin' me on to somewhere, that no one knows my name

I've got the window rolled down
I've got the radio up
I'm doin' all I can
To get my mind off us

What I need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as I can 'til I see the lights of our hometown
And run to her, take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard
But I drive on and on and on

Eighty-seven more miles gets me into Baton Rogue
There's a buddy of mine who says he might find some work that I can do
Or maybe head up north to Knoxville, Tennessee
I know my baby sister, has got a couch where I can sleep

Now the sun's goin' down
On my broken heart
Lord, I gotta get back
Before I go too far

What I need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as I can 'til I see the lights of our hometown
And run to her, take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard
But I drive on, yes I drive on and on and on

Knowin' what I need to do
Girl, I'm comin' home to you
Knowin' what I need to do
Girl, I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home to you
Knowin' what I need to do
