[Verse 1]
I'm leavin'
Words fall out my mouth and onto the floor
I'm needin'
To pack up my bags and walk right out the door
This is goodbye
I'll roll the windows down in my old Chevrolet
Don't know where I'm goin'
I just know that I can't stay

[Chorus]
Might make it to Memphis
But that ain't far enough
I'll speed down the highway to Tulsa, Missouri
So fast that the hurt can't catch up
I'm burnin' your memory
One mile at a time
All the way to Tacoma
By then I hope you're out of my mind

[Verse 2]
I'm thinkin'
With a truck stop song and a cold cup of coffee I'm drinkin'
Yeah, I'm hurtin' like hell
But honey how could I not be, you made me
Oh, the joke and the fool
The last one to know so I'm gonna
Put mountains and deserts and rivers between us
Go as far as I can go
[Chorus]
Might make it to Memphis
But that ain't far enough
I'll speed down the highway to Tulsa, Missouri
So fast that the hurt can't catch up
I'm burning your memory
One mile at a time
All the way to Tacoma
By then I hope you're out of my mind

[Bridge]
Might be some tears in Topeka
A couple of sleepless nights in Cheyenne
And the time I miss you, baby
I'll hit the gas as fast as I can

[Chorus]
Might make it to Memphis
The Kansas City line
All the way to Tacoma
By then I hope you're out of my mind

[Outro]
All the way to Tacoma
By then I hope you're out of my mind
