Think I've finally got it my way
As I'm driving down Southeast Dixie Highway
Ate my dinner with an ashtray
As I sweat out the cold of December
'Cause I deserve better than that

Well now I
Now I know how it feels
To just take my hands off the wheel and forget
And now I
Now I know how it feels
To just let it go
Let it live in the past

Think I've finally got it my way
As I'm walking by
The doorway of my old place
'Cause I think of what you taught me
Leaving isn't easy but you should go freely

Well now I
Now I know how it feels
To just take my hands off the wheel and forget
And now I
Now I know how it feels
To just let you go
Let you live in the past

Oh, the things I know
The things you know
The holding on just to let me go
Oh, the things I hold
The things I held for you

But I think I've finally got it my way
As I'm driving down
Southeast Dixie Highway
