Well, running away is easy
and driving off is even fun.
If it means anything to anybody
I’d never meant to hurt anyone.
Got wrapped up in my own story.
Started a tab of open trespasses.
Ditched the aftermath for the afterparty
leaving someone else to clean the mess.
Wind in my hair, got both hands on the wheel,
I’ve forged this iron will into a heart of steel.
20 years late and I now I'm ready to be...
the woman I should've been when I was 23.
Felt good making bad decisions.
Ain't nothin wrong with tryin' to have some fun?
Ditched all the pleasantries, wrote off the casualties...
Nothin' 8 shots of bourbon couldn't numb.
Wind in my hair, got both hands on the wheel,
I’ve forged this iron will into a heart of steel.
20 years late and I now I'm ready to be...
the woman I should've been when I was 23.
I thought the open road would always let me get away
but scenes repeat themselves like I'm on a track.
The devil holds a silken leash, he’ll help you have your way,
but I would rather roam free with a cross on my back.
Wind in my hair, used the regret I feel
to forge this iron will into a heart of steel.
20 years late and I now I'm ready to be...
the woman I should've been when I was 23.
