Just One Thing Lyrics

In the middle of the night

At the Tennessee line

Everything's easy

Rolling down the line

Then it all went to hell

It all fell away

After 500 miles it stayed that way

Just so much that I needed to see

Just a little walk through history

Just one thing is sticking with me

Anywhere at all is where I'd rather be

Than to be behind the wheel in Tennessee

Just out of Virginia

When the first one came

Bouncing off the white lines

Of the passing lane

He's got 16 wheels

But he can't decide

If he's taking a nap

Or a sweet joy ride

Just so much that I wanted to see

Just a little walk through history

Just one thing is sticking with me

Anywhere at all is where I'd rather be

Than to be behind the wheel in Tennessee

You think parking at the Parthenon

Is no easy feat

Try going down to Bakersfield

For a bite to eat

Can't even stop a car

The price is so high

So we're driving with the drunks

While the bars roll by

Everybody's drunk in Nashville

I mean everyone I see

Everybody's drunk in Nashville

That's how it looks to me

There's baseball, there's Beale Street

There's a besieged valet

Going east to get west in the hell of one way

Another wrong turn, another twist of fate

And we escaped to make up for the meal we never even ate

Just so much that I wanted to see

Just a little walk through history

Just one thing been sticking with me

Anywhere at all is where I'd rather be

Than to be behind the wheel in Tennessee

It makes no difference

If it's early or late

It doesn't seem to matter

What it says on the plate

Knoxville to Memphis

You better beware

And keep your eyes open

Cause there's danger everywhere

Just so much that I needed to see

Just a little walk through history

Just one thing been sticking with me

Anywhere at all is where I'd rather be

Than driving in Tennessee
