Tophouse Before You Can Miss Me
[Verse 1]
I'm not aching for the man I was
I drove two thousand miles just to shut him up
I put everything I own in a box in the back of my car
It ain't about what I'm running to but running from
I got a life back home with the woman I love
But the grass is too green and Tennessee has stolen my heart
[Chorus]
If you're tryin' to save me from what you think I'll become
You can rest easy knowing that you're still the one
You don't have to steal me from this side o' the Mississippi
'Cause I'll be home before you can miss me
(Oooh)
[Verse 3]
Oh, this is my heart but it ain't my home
I got one month down and the rest to go
But I'm still numb from the sound of the open road
Yeah, maybe in the morning I can feel it then
There's a war in my head between the good and the bad and the ugly and me
I'm wonderin' when it'll be over
[Chorus]
If you're tryin' to save me from what you think I'll become
You can rest easy knowing that you're still the one
You don't have to steal me from this side o' the Mississippi
'Cause I'll be home before you can miss me
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
[Verse 5]
I can't feel what I haven't felt yet
It's a contradiction life just won't let slip
But with you what I felt is something I can never forget
Oh, I'm stuck in between being lost and found
And the music soaking wet it made me maybe ninety pounds
And the rest of my weight is waiting to be found
[Chorus]
If you're tryin' to save me from what you think I'll become
You can rest easy knowing that you're still the one
You don't have to steal me from this side o' the Mississippi
'Cause I'll be home before you can miss me
