I pulled off the interstate at exit forty-two
Eleven miles of dirt road between where I was and you
That light was on the dashboard and that needle past the E
And the nearest filling station up at exit 43
But I pressed on
I couldn't wait to get home
Ten miles to empty when you know that you can't wait
You think about where you are going hoping you won't be too late
And you know that if you get there it is only by God's grace
Sitting there eleven miles away
And ten miles to empty
Well I passed by that open pasture where you taught me how to drive
And that pond by Ms. Wilson's barn where we would fish all night
So many little memories on such a little stretch of road
They mean more now to me than I ever let you know
But maybe tonight
If I get there in time
Ten miles to empty when you know that you can't wait
You think about where you are going hoping you won't be too late
And you know that if you get there it is only by God's grace
Sitting there eleven miles away
And I felt that engine sputter as I coasted in the drive
Heard by momma calling from the porch for me to run inside
And I stood there at your bedside and held on to your hand
And whispered Dad I love you as you took your final breath
I'm so glad I could be there for the last
And I thank God that I never stopped for gas
Ten miles to empty when you know that you can't wait
You think about where you are going hoping you won't be too late
And you know that if you get there it is only by God's grace
Sitting there eleven miles away
And ten miles to empty

I've been sitting here alone, staring at the phone for three days
Wanting you to call, anything at all to see your face
If only for a few short rings
I swear that'd be enough for me
To know that I
I'm still on your mind
But I don't wanna think about you now
Don't wanna keep holding on to how it used to be
Every kiss, every touch, everything I miss so much
I'm learning how to live without
So I don't wanna think about you now
I know its been a while, but baby you how I still hope
There's a part of you, like a part of me that can't let go
But if this really is the end
And we're not meant to make amends
Maybe it's best
If we lay this to rest
So I don't wanna think about you now
Don't wanna keep holding on to how it used to be
Every kiss, every touch, everything I miss so much
I'm learning how to live without
So I don't wanna think about you
Now that we've both agreed to both move on I finally see
Giving up so easily is easy to regret
And everything I've come to miss
I didn't think about back then
Now I can't help but remember
And I'm dying to forget
I don't wanna think about you now
Don't wanna keep holding on to how it used to be
Every kiss, every touch, everything I miss so much
I'm learning how to live without
So I don't wanna think about you now
I don't wanna think about you now
