Things I'm Going Through

I was sittin' at home all alone when the phone rang

My old man on the line sayin' "What's up, son? Tell me some new things"

I didn't have the heart to tell him she was gone, gone, gone

So I just lied, said "Pop, here's what's going on, on, on"

I'm goin' 25 down a backroad

Just burnin' gas, you know how that goes

With a cross breeze cross me

Dog up in the front seat

Talkin' anything, but the truth

Got Shelton on the station, playin' "Kiss my ass"

Goddamn, thinkin' I ain't doin' too bad

From his point of view, this green grass countryside

And a fresh can of chew

Are the only things I'm goin' through

I could tell him I've been drinkin', that she ain't around no more

But he'd take a two-hour ride in his '95 Ford

I told him she was gone for the weekend

Yeah, it's easier than tellin' him I've gone off the deep end, so

I'm goin' 25 down a backroad

Just burnin' gas, you know how that goes

With a cross breeze cross me

Dog up in the front seat

Talkin' anything, but the truth

Got Shelton on the station, playin' "Kiss my ass"

Goddamn, thinkin' I ain't doin' too bad

From his point of view, this green grass countryside

And a fresh can of chew

Are the only things I'm goin' through

Goin' through these bottles

Goin' through this pain

Ran through half a pack sittin' 'round today

Since you've been gone, I've been to hell and back

All I can tell him is that

I'm goin' 25 down a backroad

Just burnin' gas, you know how that goes

With a cross breeze cross me

Dog up in the front seat

Talkin' anything but the truth

Got Shelton on the station, playin' "Kiss my ass"

Goddamn, thinkin' I ain't doin' too bad

From his point of view, this green grass countryside

And a fresh can of chew

Are the only things I'm goin' through
