"She Drives Away" lyrics

You knocked on the door
Her daddy opened it up
Said she'll be down in ten
Let's sit and have us a talk
Don't keep her mama up waiting
Keep them eyes on the road
You think he's just out to get ya
And you don't even know

She drives away
And he's scared to death
You hold the wheel
He holds his breath
You ain't thinking 'bout him
Thinking how it feels like yesterday
He drove her home
Now she drives away

A little down the road
You call him outta the blue
Tell him you bought a ring
Next thing you're saying I do
He's fighting tears while they're dancing
To 'My Little Girl'
It ain't just cans on a Chevy
It's his whole world

She drives away
And he's scared to death
You hold the wheel
He holds his breath
You ain't thinking 'bout him
Thinking how it feels like yesterday
He drove her home
Now she drives away

Now I've been up all night
In Room 203
It's like they took out my heart
And wrapped it in pink
Yeah, it all just kinda hit me
Put tears on my face
Ain't even got her in the car seat
And I'm dreading the day

When she drives away
And I'm scared to death
Still ain't caught mine
Since her first breath
Sixteen years from now it's gonna feel like yesterday
That I drove her home
When she drives away

When she drives away
When she drives away
