[Intro]
C G F C
[Verse 1]
C G
I saw you sitting there smiling in a shotgun seat
C Dm7
I guess you meant it when you said to me
C F
We're ’bout as over as over could be
C
It's been a rough couple weeks
[Pre-Chorus]
C
'Cause, baby, I’ve been
G
With women and whiskey, been puttin' miles in
Dm7
To things that ain't good for me, now I'm drivin'
F
'Cause, damn, I've had enough
F
And it ain't lookin’ up
[Chorus]
C
So I put the pedal down, pedal down
G
I hit the road and I ain’t turnin' ’round, turnin' 'round
Dm7
I'm cryin’ tears up on this highway shoulder
C F
Swerving the line to holding on and closure
C
Yeah, I put the pedal down, pedal down
G
Not eatin' nothing, man, I'm headin' south, headin' south
Dm7
I couldn't be all that you wanted
Dm7
You left this bedroom haunted
F
And, damn, it's like a ghost town
C
Yeah, so I put the pedal down
[Verse 2]
C G
Wish I'd've heard it through a friend of mine
Dm7
Instead of seein' it with my own damn eyes
Dm7
But now I'm runnin' and gunnin'
F
From something I loved and once was mine, yeah
[Chorus]
C
Yeah, I put the pedal down, pedal down
G
I hit the road and I ain’t turnin' ’round, turnin' 'round
Dm7
I'm cryin’ tears up on this highway shoulder
C F
Swerving the line to holding on and closure
C
Yeah, I put the pedal down, pedal down
G
Not eatin' nothing, man, I'm headin' south, headin' south
Dm7
I couldn't be all that you wanted

[Bridge]
Dm Em
Yeah, you totally moved on, now I'm running on empty
F
Even though you're gone, yeah, you're still here with me
[Out-Chorus]
C
So I put that pedal down
C
I hit that road and I ain't turnin' 'round
Dm7
My tears are flooded on this highway shoulder
F
Swerving the line to holding on and closure
C
So I put the pedal down, pedal down
G
I-65, and, man, I'm headin' south, headin' south
Dm7
I couldn't be all that you wanted
Dm7
You left this bedroom haunted
