Asphalt

(album: The K Is Silent - 2020)

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

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 leaving at all
It's that asphalt
That sweet asphalt

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

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 leaving at all
It's that asphalt
That sweet asphalt

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 leaving at all
It's that asphalt
That sweet asphalt

It ain't my fault
It's that asphalt
