GOING BACK TO ME
Looking at a sea of red tail lights
All headin’ God knows where into the night
I’m tired but there’s a long, long way to go
To get to that place I used to know
Me and this old Oldsmobile, Ain’t headed back to Bakersfield
Or back to some old boyfriend’s heart I broke
I’m goin' down a northern road and it, don’t even matter where it goes, I’m just goin’
I’m looking for the girl I was I swear, I’m gonna find it sure enough, I just know it
I gave it all I had, but now I’m taking what I need
Leaving someone, they all wanted me to be
And I’m going back to me, going back to me
I miss the me who loved, to laugh a lot
Who could see the glass half full, even when it was not
Who believed this big old world, was hers to own
Never was afraid of the great unknown
Took a while but now I see, I can’t live, someone else’s dream
I gotta make this journey all alone
I’m goin’ down a northern road and it, don’t even matter where it goes, I’m just goin’
I’m looking for the girl I was I swear, I’m gonna find it sure enough, I just know it
I gave it all I had, but now I’m taking what I need
Leaving someone, they all wanted me to be
And I’m going back to me
Yeah, yeah, going back to me
I’ve got one hand on the wheel, and the other waving free
Saying goodbye to the me, I could never be
Yeah I’m going back, going back to me
Looking at a sea of red tail lights
I’m getting God knows where into the night
I’m going back, I’m going back, I’m going back to me
