The Knot Comes Untied

She's a got a Rand MCNALLY map

And a tank full of gasoline

Yeah love's been headin south

And now she's heading out of New Orleans

She throws her last picture out the window near the Louisiana line

She's somewhere between dreaming and leaving old feelings behind

As the knot comes untied

Her heart is running scared

She says a silent prayer

Lord I'm counting on you to help me get through this night

There's memories like mountains and each one gets HARDER to climb

As the knot comes untied

On one hand she wonders if what she is doing is wrong

'Cause it sure is a long stretch of highway between goin and gone

She's been down this road a thousand times in her mind

But what's done is done

She won't turn around this time

As the knot comes untied

Her heart is running scared

She says a silent prayer

Lord I'm counting on you to help me get through this night

There's memories like mountains and each one gets harder to climb

As the knot comes untied

She's got Rand MCNALLY map

And a tank full of gasoline
