The sun came cuttin' through a faded curtain
In a rented out motel room
Didn't care if I was hurtin'
And I knew for certain
It was only there to light up the truth
I was all out of luck
Had to pack it all up
'Cause that's just what you do
When the dream your chasin'
Ain't been chasin' you
Don't get tied to the tracks
Ain't no life lookin' back
Yeah, cause pretty girls leave
And guitar dreams run a highway through your soul
So pick your favorite trainwreck and roll
Had another one waitin'
Yeah, I'm just sayin'
It wasn't right, but she was there
She was all for the takin'
She was all for the makin'
A one-night love affair
But I didn't hang around
I slipped out of the town, like a thief in the night
How do you tell somebody there's a million reasons why?
Don't get tied to the tracks
Ain't no life lookin' back
Yeah, cause pretty girls leave
And guitar dreams run a highway through your soul
So pick your favorite trainwreck and roll
Like the engine ain't slowing down
Roll like the engine's waitin' in the next neon town
Don't get tied to the tracks
Ain't no life, don't go lookin' back
'Cause pretty girls leave
And guitar dreams run a highway through your soul
So pick your favorite trainwreck and
Pick your favorite trainwreck and
Pick your favorite trainwreck and roll
Yeah
