 C
Some towns look better as you leave 'em
     Dm                          C
and right now this ones lookin' fine.
            C
'Cause with every mile that rolls by I'm a little
closer
     Dm                      C
to that sweet little gal of mine.

Chorus:
       F
She's right there past the high beams
                         C
and I need her beside me, foot heavy on the gas.
      F
No, she don't mind me leavin' her behind me
          Dm             F      C
'cause she knows I know my way back.

I know the porch light'll be burnin' when
I get there
Cause I've been out here keepin' it on
But the brightest light that shines
Is that sweet little thing of mine
Waitin' inside my front door

Chorus:
That girl that's right there past them high beams
And I need her beside me
Foot heavy on the gas
Nah, she don't mind me leavin' her behind me
'Cause she knows I know my way back

She don't have to speak 'cause I've already heard
How bad she's been missin' me too
Just one touch of her hand
Reminds this man
Why I do everything that I do

Chorus:
It's all for that girl right past them high beams
That I need beside me
Foot heavy on the gas
Now she don't mind me leavin' her behind me
'Cause she knows I know my way back

Back for them miles underneath them high beams
Pretended she's beside me, foot heavy on the gas
Nah, she don't mind me leavin' her behind me
'Cause she knows I know my way back
Oh, she knows I know my way back
Oh, I always come back
