It Hits Me

(album: Hometown Heartbreak - 2022)

One week, four days, three hours, since I last thought about you
Doing the best I can to move on but girl if you want the truth
Sometimes I hit that old dirt road
On those county lines that takes me home
And I see you in that front seat
And all a sudden girl it hits me

That you ain't here anymore to love me
You ain't here anymore to try
You ain't gonna be here when I need ya baby
I feel it deep inside, it hits me
Like a freight train, like a car wreck, like a right hook
In a bar fight on a rowdy Friday night
Like a quarterback blitz, like a fastball pitch
Coming straight down the plate in the bottom of the ninth
And I shouldn't be surprised
Cuz it happens every the time
Soon as you're outta my mind
It hits me... it hits me

See I could be driving down my old street
On sunny summer July day
Or waiting in line at the Dairy Queen
And all a sudden I see your face
And I start thinking about ya
And how much I really miss ya
I wanna tell ya I'm sorry, I wanna hug ya and kiss ya
I wanna try my best to break free, but all a sudden girl it hits me

That you ain't here anymore to love me
You ain't here anymore to try
You ain't gonna be here when I need ya baby
I feel it deep inside, it hits me
Like a freight train, like a car wreck, like a right hook
In a bar fight on a rowdy Friday night
Like a quarterback blitz, like a fastball pitch
Coming straight down the plate in the bottom of the ninth
And I shouldn't be surprised
Cuz it happens every the time
Soon as you're outta my mind
It hits me... it hits me

When I ride through Main Street in town
When I roll my windows down
When I walk into this empty house
It hits me... it's hit me

That you ain't here anymore to love me
You ain't here anymore to try
You ain't gonna be here when I need ya baby
I feel it deep inside, it hits me
Like a freight train, like a car wreck, like a right hook
In a bar fight on a rowdy Friday night
Like a quarterback blitz, like a fastball pitch
Coming straight down the plate in the bottom of the ninth
And I shouldn't be surprised
Cuz it happens every the time
Soon as you're outta my mind
It hits me... it hits me
