She's a got a Rand McNally map and a tank full of gasoline

Yeah love's been headin' south and now she's headin' out of New Orleans

She throws her last picture out the window near the Louisiana line

She's somewhere between dreaming and leaving old feelings behind

As the knot comes untied



Her heart is running scared

She's says a silent prayer

Lord I'm counting on you to help me get through this night

There's memories like mountains and each one gets harder to climb

As the knot comes untied



On one hand she wonders if what she is doing is wrong

'Cause it sure is a long stretch of highway between goin' and gone

She's been down this road a thousand times in her mind

But what's done is done she won't turn around this time

As the knot comes untied



Her heart is running scared

She's says a silent prayer

Lord I'm counting on you to help me get through this night

There's memories like mountains and each one gets harder to climb

As the knot comes untied



She's got Rand McNally map and a tank full of gasoline
