40 miles from my home 40 miles on the blacktop rolling I'm looking ahead Those clouds are full, it's like the sun is dead Two months now since you've gone Two months since you left me for her siren song Oh yeah, it won't be long til I will get you off of my mind I'll tell you now it won't be long til I will get you off of my mind Does she believe all the things you say? Does she know that one day you'll walk away? Does she like where your heart has been And that your soul is as black as sin? Did you tell her that you can't be trusted? That your head's in the clouds and your mind's all busted? Oh yeah, it won't be long til I will get you off of my mind I'll tell you now it won't be long til I will get you off of my mind I won't be the one who lies down quietly And watches you get away With doing all that you do best Lyin', cheatin', Hurtin', stealin' Leaving your kids crying at their mother's breast I asked the Lord on high If he'd come down and look you in the eye Account for all the things you did All the hearts you broke and the lies you said He just cried and shook his head He said the devil's got you by the neck Oh yeah, it won't be long til I will get you off of my mind I'll tell you now it won't be long til I will get you off of my mind 40 miles from my home 40 miles on the blacktop rolling Sun is filling up the sky Burning off this pain of mine Go ahead now and play your games I'm bowing out and I'm driving away Oh yeah, it won't be long til I will get you off of my mind I'll tell you now it won't be long til I will get you off of my mind
