[English]

I open my lungs

To breathe in forgiveness and love

Haunting me now

Reminders of how I used to be

And on down the road

My troubles are sure to follow

Looking out the window

The hell if I know where I will go

So I'll just keep on driving

On my way to LA

Looking into the rearview as the roads fade away

I've sworn off my past

First to last bad call that I ever made

Tell me how to make right

Every wrong turn that I've learned so this can all end tonight

Tennessee line (Tennessee line) just changed my mind

Well, it's my heart I'll follow this time

Who would've known (who would've known)

That pride is so hard to swallow?

As I rest on the shoulder

Of a road growing colder with the trouble I own

Should I just keep on driving?

On my way to LA

Looking into the rearview as the roads fade away

I've sworn off my past

First to last bad call that I ever made

Tell me how to make right

Every wrong turn that I've learned so this can all end tonight

The Tennessee line (Tennessee line) just changed my mind

Well, it's my heart I'll follow this time

I know I must be doing something right

Head the other way, back to where I started out

Ask myself if I can turn it all around tonight

And stop living with doubt, yeah, yeah

On my way to LA

Looking into the rearview as the roads fade away

I've sworn off my past

First to last bad call that I ever made

Tell me how to make right

Every wrong turn that I've learned so this can all end tonight

Tennessee line (Tennessee line) just changed my mind

Well, it's my heart I'll follow this time

I've sworn off my past

First to last bad call that I ever made

Well, it's my heart I'll follow this time

I've sworn off my past

The first to last bad call that I ever made (oh, yeah)

I'm gonna turn it all around tonight

Turn it all around tonight

Turn it all around tonight

I'm gonna turn it all around tonight

At the Tennessee line
