She don't know who you're missing
Driving down that lonesome road tonight
Looking for one starlight glowing

Or her face shining in the dashlight
Driving out of Natchez
You drive her back and forth across your mind

Tires squeal as the wheels spin faster
Love's gone for good this time


Don't think about her
Move on, you're lucky just to be alive
You'll live without her

Just don't think about her
When you're trying to drive


A heart in your condition
Shouldn't be out on that road tonight
Bad clutch and your load keeps shiftin'

But hold on, Buddy you'll be alright
You'll wake tomorrow morning
You'll probably be in Memphis or somewhere

And they won't know one thing about her
Those lips, those eyes, that hair


Don't think aboyt her
Move on, you're lucky just to be alive
You'll live without her

Just don't you think about her
When you're tryin' to drive


You make that phone call
You'll hear her sayin'
"Hello, who's there, is it somebody playin'?"

You won't be able to utter a word
She's better off not knowin'


Where it is you're goin'

Don't think about her

Move on, you're lucky just to be alive
You'll live without her
Just don't you think about her

When you're trying to drive
