Told everyone I was going for a drive
Walked out, thinkin’ it’s the last time
Packed a bag and left the rest
Trustin’ in my old truck to be my friend
Mad enough to drive across the states
Don’t wanna be anywhere
I’m not wanted anyway, anyway

So how do you know?
If it’s worth the fight
Scrap it or save it
Even when you know
You’re the one, that’s right
When there’s too much tension
All that strife
It’s gonna take more than love this time

She told me get out
Don’t come back this time
[Dont come back around]
Take yourself on back home
Hell, I don’t care where you go
That’s what she said that night
[Thats what she said, alright]
I honored her, took her at her word
[So, I took her at her word]

Next day, my phone kept ringin’
Messages kept dingin’
I’s not about to touch that fire
Let’s sleepin’ dogs lie
I’d had enough, so I
Turned off the phone, kept drivin’

So how do you know?
If it’s worth the fight
Scrap it or save it
Even when you know
You’re the one that’s right
When there’s too much tension
All that strife
It’s gonna take more than love this time

No matter how you feel
If you have a love, that’s real
It’s always worth fightin’ for
There’s just no room for pride
But if it doesn’t work out
You’ll know you truly tried

2 miles from Mexico
I stopped for food and fuel
Cooled down and thinkin’ about
All we had before that night
2 miles from Mexico
Said a prayer and let out a sigh
Started headin’ back to her
2 miles from Mexico
Gonna give it one more try
[Gonna try it one last time]
[God help us get it right]
