I Kept Driving Anyway

You said, “pull over… we need to talk” I said, “not here”… and I kept it locked There was a gas sign up ahead Could’ve stopped… I drove instead

You went quiet, looked outside Streetlight slid across your eyes I knew that look, I knew that line Still didn’t ease up on the drive

There’s a moment you don’t forget Right before it all goes dead

I kept drivin’ anyway Even when I knew you’d break Even when the words went wrong I just kept that engine on

I kept drivin’ anyway Didn’t know what else to say Some men stop… some just go I chose the road… and let you go

Dropped you off by that old place Didn’t even look at your face Door shut hard but not too loud Like you didn’t wanna make it count

I sat there for a second flat Could’ve turned… yeah, thought ‘bout that Then I hit the gas instead Like I always do with things I regret

There’s a line you cross alone Ain’t no comin’ back from

I kept drivin’ anyway Even when I knew you’d break Even when the silence hit I just let it ride like this

I kept drivin’ anyway Didn’t trust what I might say Some men stay… face it slow I chose the road… and let you go

I still pass that road sometimes… Don’t slow down… don’t turn in

But I see it Every time

I kept drivin’ anyway Even now I feel that day Every mile don’t change a thing Just makes room for what it brings

I kept drivin’ anyway That’s the price I had to pay No big fight, no big goodbye Just a road… and one more drive
