[Verse 1] I got up and pulled on last weeks clothes Wrinkled in a pile on the floor Poured some coffee, it was black and cold I drank it and walked out the door [Verse 2] Then I got in my car and I drove it outta town Put some John Prine on Passed a couple graveyards and a rusty, old boxcar And I found an open sky to look upon [Chorus] Cause Im behind the comfort of my dashboard now Couldnt make me stay Make me stay But I know I could take my troubles, put em down, down, down If I just pretend Im runnin far away Far away [Verse 3] I pulled over to the side of the road Looked out over the fields And its a shame the ones you love the most will be the ones To show you how a broken heart feels [Verse 4] Soon enough, Im gonna turn around Find my way back home Ooh, but give me just a minute more Startin to feel good to be alone [Chorus] Cause Im behind the comfort of my dashboard now Couldnt make me stay Make me stay But I know I could take my troubles, put em down, down, down If I just pretend Im runnin far away If I just pretend Im runnin far away Just pretend Im runnin far away
