Well I'm driving hard
and I'm driving mean,
driving anything fast
just to get away from you,
get away from you.
And I'm going through the city
my foot on the pedal
ain't never going back
no never going back for you
no, not for you.
'Cause that ring around my finger
isn't getting any tighter now
and them balls around my heart
can't hold me down.
Well I love 'em,
and I leave 'em.
I leave their broken hearts
sitting next to the the bottles
I left them last night.
Well she begged me please
to bring that love and turn around
and come on back to her,
on back to her.
Well I was going through the city
my foot on the pedal
ain't never going back
no never going back for you
no, not for you.
'Cause that ring around my finger
isn't getting any tighter now
and them balls around my heart
can't hold me down.
Well I love 'em,
and I leave 'em.
I leave their broken hearts
sitting next to the the bottles
I left them last night.
