Lyrics
Brand new tires on a passin' road
Expressing the start of a journey with new tires on a road.
I'd drive this car 'til them wheels grow old
Commitment to driving the car until the wheels show signs of aging.
If only gas were cheaper though
Wishing for cheaper gas, indicating financial concerns.
I think I'll just go a mile
Contemplating covering only a short distance due to uncertain feelings.
I didn't get to sleep last night
Struggling with sleeplessness the previous night.
Thought I'd see the first daylight
Anticipation of witnessing the dawn, possibly seeking solace.
Maybe my bed didn't feel just right
Suggesting discomfort or unease in bed.
Either way I'm tired
Expressing fatigue regardless of the reason.
I can't tell if I'm on edge or just hungover
Uncertain about emotional state, hinting at possible hangover.
But I'm lyin' if I told you I was fine
Admitting to not being fine despite previous statement.
When she texted me and said that it was over
Receiving a breakup text and acknowledging emotional pain.
I could read between the words of every line
Claiming to understand the deeper meaning behind the breakup message.
She was raised a Belle Meade girl
Describing the ex-lover as having an affluent background.
Sweet like wine and eyes like pearls
Highlighting positive qualities of the ex-lover.
She once meant to me the world
Previously, the ex-lover was highly valued, but not anymore.
Now she ain't worth my time
Deeming the ex-lover not worth the singer's time.
Thinking there's another man
Suspecting the presence of another man in the ex-lover's life.
Who hugged her tight and held her hand
Imagining a romantic connection between the ex-lover and someone else.
Now I'm just a one man band
Accepting a solitary existence, performing for a meager reward.
Singin' for a dime
Engaging in self-expression and solitude through music for minimal gain.
I can't tell if I'm on edge or just hungover
Revisiting the theme of emotional turmoil or a possible hangover.
But I'm lyin' if I told you I was fine
Reaffirming the lack of well-being despite claims of being fine.
When she texted me and said that it was over
Recalling the breakup text and acknowledging emotional distress.
I could read between the words of every line
Reiterating the ability to decipher the deeper meaning in the breakup message.
If I didn't love this town
Expressing love for the town despite personal struggles.
I'd be halfway cross the state by now
Desiring to leave town but seeking help along the way.
Askin' for some help on down the line
Asking for assistance in overcoming challenges down the road.
Prayin' Lord please hear me out
Praying for divine intervention and guidance.
If you care what I'm talkin' 'bout
Requesting understanding for the difficult situation.
These backwood routes ain't helpin' ease my mind
Expressing frustration with the lack of relief from rural routes.
I can't tell if I'm on edge or just hungover
Revisiting the theme of emotional turmoil or a possible hangover.
But I'm lyin' if I told you I was fine
Reaffirming the lack of well-being despite claims of being fine.
When she texted me and said that it was over
Recalling the breakup text and acknowledging emotional distress.
I could read between the words of every line
Reiterating the ability to decipher the deeper meaning in the breakup message.
