Already Gone

I take a breath and turn the key
I never guessed this would take all of me
One more look at what i'm leaving behind
This cloud of dust it's my goodbye

It's a long, long road to independence
But I'm leaving you for Tennessee
I've got demons riding shotgun
Telling me not to go
But what they don't know
Is I'm already gone

They say it's easier as time goes by
Why won't these tears stop falling from my eyes?
Letting you go wasn't what i planned
With every mile the more I understand

It's a long, long road to independence
But I'm leaving you for Tennessee
I got demons riding shotgun
Telling me not to go
But what they don't know
Is I'm already gone

And I almost turned around on highway 65
In a Arkansas at a truck stop just to cry
I put myself together at the Chatham county line
And I thought about my heartache and all the reasons why I should drive

It's a long, long road to independence
But I'm leaving you for Tennessee
I've got demons riding shotgun
Telling me not to go
But what they don't know
Is I'm already gone
