Inside my head; is a place you’ve never been.
Have you walked what I’ve walked? Or seen what I’ve seen?
So how do you judge me?
Saying my truth is a lie?
I think it’s time I’m leaving.
It’s time I said my goodbyes
Now that I’m leaving, peace is all I want.
I’m leaving your hate, and your words coming to taunt
So goodbye to house, and the white picket fence.
Choosing a path! The only one that makes any sense.
So you can keep the car, the house, the boat,my shoes.
But I’m taking my truck! And my dog named Peggy Sue .
I’m out on the highway, looking for somewhere to rest my head.
Stop at a dive bar, having beer and whiskey instead.
Now that I’m leaving, peace is all I want.
I’m leaving your hate, and your words that haunt
So goodbye to house, and the white picket fence.
Choosing a path! The only one that makes any sense.
(Bridge)
The neon is flickering, casting shadows on the floor
I ain't looking for a fight, and I ain't looking for more
Just a moment of silence from the ringing in my ears
Drowning out the echoes of those wasted, bitter years
Yeah, the road is wide open and the engine starts to hum
I’m finally finding out just who I’ve become.
(Guitar Solo - Gritty, blues-infused rock)
(Chorus)
Now that I’m leaving, peace is all I want
I’m leaving your hate, and your words that haunt me
So goodbye to the house, and the white picket fence
Choosing a path! The only one that makes any sense.
(Outro)
Yeah, it’s just me and Peggy Sue
Watching the taillights fade to blue
No more judgment, no more lies
Just the open road and the desert skies
I’m gone...
Yeah, I’m finally gone.
(Fade out with the sound of a diesel engine revving)
