[Verse 1]
I woke up by the crack of dawn
Then I left a note by her bed
Sayin', "Girl, I just gotta get gone"
That's pretty much all that it said
And now I'm out here chasin' what I've gotta find
I sure hate to leave her behind

[Chorus 1]
It ain't my fault
It's that asphalt
Yeah, it calls out my name and I'm gone just like that
I don't really care if it's curvy or flat
I could stay, but there's always a "but"
That makes me jump into my truck
There's one big ol' reason why I'm even leavin' at all
It's that asphalt
That sweet asphalt

[Verse 2]
Been ladies who can't let me go
They want me to settle on down
Whenever they catch me somewhere on the road
I ask them to just turn around

[Chorus 1]
It ain't my fault
It's that asphalt
Yeah, it calls out my name and I'm gone just like that
I don't really care if it's curvy or flat
I could stay, but there's always a "but"
That makes me jump into my truck
There's one big ol' reason why I'm even leavin' at all
It's that asphalt
That sweet asphalt
[Chorus 2]
It ain't my fault
It's that asphalt
And there's always more out there on that open road
It's never too wide and it's never too old
I could stay, but there's always a "but"
That makes me jump into my truck
There's one big ol' reason why I'm even leavin' at all
It's that asphalt
That sweet asphalt

[Outro]
It ain't my fault
It's that asphalt
