[Lyric] Lonely In The Mirror (Thomas Oakes)

Verse 1:
I headed South straight outta Lonely, gonna drive until I drop
I got the needle sunk to 85, prayin’ your memories will stop
I gotta get away from Sadness, I’m finally gonna ditch my past
I’m hopin I can find Forever – I’m tryin’ to get there fast

Chorus:
I headed south straight out of Lonely, right foot to the floor
I’m gonna drive all night, and then I’m gonna drive some more
Thinkin’ back to how I tried so hard, just not enough to make you stay
I still see Lonely in the mirror - but it's fading away

Verse 2:
Tunes are cranked as I blow through, the small town of Goodbye
Memories flashin’ of you lovin' me, like thе headlights driftin’ by
I spent a night in Tired County, anothеr sleepless night in Doubt
Super Eight Security - they talked me down and threw me out

Chorus:
I headed south straight out of Lonely, right foot to the floor
I’m gonna drive all night, and then I’m gonna drive some more
Thinkin’ back to how I tried so hard, just not enough to make you stay
I still see Lonely in the mirror - but it's fading away
SOLO

Verse 3:
Driving thru the State of Love now, they say Love is worth the wait
Lookin’ everywhere for Happiness, could be just off this interstate
Head straight East - the town ‘a Lucky, is just beside I-69
I pray I’ll end up bein’ lucky in Love, and find a life that’s really mine

Chorus:
I headed south straight outta Lonely, right foot to the floor
I’m gonna drive all night, and then I’m gonna drive some more
Thinkin’ back to how I tried so hard, just not enough to make you stay
Lonely’s still somewhere behind me - but gettin’ smaller every day
