Drew Womack - Fastest Way To Texas lyrics
rate meShe was still in Ontario when I headed down Thunder Bay<br />
I stopped off for gas in St. Paul and it got me through all of IA<br />
Yeah, she really made me mad this time and I had to get away<br />
So I was Texas bound just like that, and Texas I'd stay<br />
<br />
In a Kansas City bar off of I-35<br />
I stopped off for directions to make up for lost time<br />
Said I was looking for the fastest way to Texas tonight<br />
<br />
A man on a stool by himself started giving me advice<br />
He said, I know the shortcuts, cause that interstate, it messed up my life.<br />
It was San Antonio, it was the middle of the night<br />
She knew I was all wrong, but she didn't want to fight<br />
So I jumped in my car and I drove out of her sight<br />
<br />
The way I get back is, son, I... <br />
<br />
Walk up, sit down and buy myself a double, then<br />
The whole time I'm there, that's when I crumble<br />
And it's whiskey, not the highway, that drives me to tears<br />
And that's the fastest way to Texas from here<br />
The fastest way to Texas from here<br />
<br />
He went on to tell me all the things along the way that remind him of her<br />
That's why he won't go back the same way, cause of how much it hurts<br />
He said, light conversation can lead anywhere<br />
From football to baseball to how life just ain't fair<br />
But in this part of this bar we don't like to go there<br />
<br />
But if you really want to know I just... <br />
<br />
Walk up, sit down and buy myself a double, then<br />
The whole time I'm there, that's when I crumble<br />
And it's whiskey, not the highway, that drives me to tears<br />
And that's the fastest way to Texas from here<br />
The fastest way to Texas from here<br />
<br />
Well, it's my way<br />
Or the highway... <br />
<br />
(Lap Steel and Lead Guitar Solos)<br />
<br />
Well, he stumbled his way through his life, through the pain and regret<br />
He said, take a look at that old car outside, cause it's all I have left<br />
And let me say one last thing, before you hit the road<br />
And buy you a round, propose a toast<br />
To the one man in this bar who knows who I hurt the most<br />
<br />
And I guess I got it then cause I just... <br />
<br />
Walked up, sit down and bought us both a double, then<br />
The whole time we were there, that's when I crumble<br />
And it's whiskey, not the highway, that drives me to tears<br />
And that's the fastest way to Texas from here<br />
The fastest way to Texas from here<br />
The fastest way to Texas from here, yes it is<br />
Yes it is, baby... <br />
<br />
She was still in Ontario and I headed up Thunder Bay...
