Another song about being discontent and wanting just to leave. Get out of where it is you're stuck and do something new, go somewhere new. Just leave.
lyrics
Lyin awake in the dead of night
And all I want to do is get in a car and drive
Don’t know where I’m going don’t know when I’ll stop again
Just leave it all behind
Step out on the highway
Thummin for the west
Maybe one day I’ll see you again
But who’s to say I’m comin back
Just leave it all behind
No time to say goodbye
I’ve gotta leave tonight
Call my mother from the highway
Leave my friends out in the west
Just leave it all behind
