I'll be halfway to Salinas By the time you find I've gone And in case you don't believe the words I said When you wake you'll find a letter In it all the things you've done To get me on the highway once again Well, I made a list of reasons loving you proved to be wrong And I tried to find a way to make it end I've decide that the best way Was to take the night on And drive until the sun comes up again Well, I wasn't quite expecting For goodbye to take so long If I listen here seated, begin to sense it ending I'll be halfway to Salinas With the echo of a song And the humming of the motor in my head And I got an unclear conscience About this one thing I did wrong Leaving you without a notice, in the darkness all alone All trough the night I was tempted To turn and hold you one night more But I had to keep my headlights on the road Still, leaving is troubling my mind Got stay in the course and in the lines Can't think of the good times And when the darkness tries to take me from all sight I look ahead and keep my eyes where the light shines
