Thinking and Driving Lyrics by Trevor Snider
Two lanes and backroads
Now they feel like one way streets
These country roads used to take me home
Been getting me from A to B
I know every curve like the back of my hand
Every turn and every red light
I’m doing everything I can
To keep it between the lines
Now when I pass that church
I know I’m three miles out
Pray my boots don’t slam the breaks
When I pass by your house
I know I’m sober if I get pulled over
They’re gonna think I’m lying
Cause I’m all over the road
And there’s no denying
That I’ve been thinking and driving
If objects in the rearview
Were closer than they appear
Then you’d be singing your favorite songs
In the shotgun seat right here
There used to be a shortcut turn
Back at half mile off of main
Now the only way I can get home
Is to drive down memory lane
Now when I pass that church
I know I’m three miles out
Pray my boots don’t slam the breaks
When I pass by your house
I know I’m sober if I get pulled over
They’re gonna think I’m lying
Cause I’m all over the road
And there’s no denying
That I’ve been thinking and driving
Thinking and driving
If I lose my license
It’s cause I’m messed up over you
Just thinking I’m fine that
I’m thinking and driving
Like I’ve had a few
Now when I pass that church
I know I’m three miles out
Pray my boots don’t slam the breaks
When I pass by your house
I know I’m sober if I get pulled over
They’re gonna think I’m lying
Cause I’m all over the road
And there’s no denying
That I’ve been thinking and driving
