tacoma

i'm leaving

the words fall out my mouth

and onto the floor

i am needing

to pack up my bags and walk right out the door

this is goodbye

i'll roll the windows down

on my green chevrolet

and i

don't know where i'm going

just know that i can't stay

might make it to memphis

but if that ain't far enough

i'll speed down the highway to tulsa

mizzoula

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 you'll be out of my mind

i'm thinking

with a truck stop song and a cold cup of coffee

that i'm drinking

and i'm hurting like hell

but honey how could i not be

you made me

the joker

the fool

the last one to know so i'm gonna put

mountains and rivers and deserts between us

go as far as i can go

might make it to memphis

but if that ain't far enough

i'll speed down the highway to tulsa

mizzoula

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 you'll be out of my mind

might leave some tears in topeka

a couple of sleepless nights in cheyenne

every time that i miss you

i'll hit the gas as fast as i can

might make it to memphis

past those kansas city lights

all the way to tacoma

by then you'll be out of my mind

all the way to tacoma

by then you'll be out of my mind
