| He bought the car for 500 bucks
|
| It took every cent he had
|
| With a cross taped to the dash for luck
|
| Never wanted anything so bad
|
| Nobody knew he left town that day
|
| Cause they never know he was there
|
| The funny looking kid with the cheap tattoos
|
| And grease stuck in his hair
|
| But he just said
|
| That’s the way it goes
|
| When you’re around nobody knows
|
| And when your gone life goes on
|
| With a loveless heart and a tank full of gas
|
| He headed out onto the overpass
|
| Gonna take that road wherever it goes
|
| That was 4 or 5 years ago
|
| And that old car’s running still
|
| He thinks about going back sometimes
|
| But he knows that he never will
|
| He’s been playing with fire and he’s been burned
|
| And it’s got him feeling low
|
| He just laughs and turns the radio on
|
| Cause that’s the way it goes
|
| But he just said
|
| That’s the way it goes
|
| When you’re around nobody knows
|
| And when your gone life goes on
|
| With a loveless heart and a tank full of gas
|
| He headed out onto the overpass
|
| Gonna take that road wherever it goes
|
| He pulled into town around 9 o’clock
|
| And that’s when that old car died
|
| On an empty street with no cars in sight
|
| He just pushed it to the side
|
| He looked up and saw that girl drive by
|
| He just turned and watched her go
|
| She was the best damn girl he’d ever seen
|
| He just laughed cause that’s the way it goes
|
| But he just said
|
| That’s the way it goes
|
| When you’re around nobody knows
|
| And when your gone life goes on
|
| With a loveless heart and a tank full of gas
|
| He headed out onto the overpass
|
| Gonna take that road wherever it goes |
