Lyrics: "I Used to Wanna Live Here"

Just a quick bunch of lyrics I threw together to accompany a little riff I came up with. It's a travelin' song about leaving the place that you are in favor of somewhere else. It's just a metaphor me, leaving behind some of the demons that haunt me.

I Used to Wanna Live Here

I'm sittin' in the driver's seat
The road is rumblin' at my feet
White knuckles on the wheel
Press the pedal clear to the floor
Yeah, I used to wanna live here
I ain't ever goin' back no more

The wind is blowin' through my hair
You'd think I didn't have a care
Up ahead is Minnesota
The Mississippi River too
Well, I used to wanna live here
But now it just reminds me of you

And there's a high bridge comin'
I don't think it's gonna slow me down
And if the lights don't get me
I just might make it to the next town

North Dakota's in my sight
I just wanna make it there by night
But my tank is gettin' empty
And the wicked winter winds are blowin'
Well, I used to wanna live here,
But now I think I'll just keep goin'
