Ever since that night you walked out

I just ain't been the same ol' me

I've barely had the strength

To leave the couch to turn on my TV

But a man can't hide away forever

And last night I finally told me so

I knew I had to get out

But I knew I had to take it slow

So I burned down this town

A honky tonk at a time

I got loud and checked out

Every cute little cowgirl I could hold

Getting over you is still a long ways away, I swear

Last night was one small step

But you gotta start somewhere

Think I feel a little better

A little more like the man I used to be

I ain't saying that I'm there yet

But I can see some possibilities

When your motor ain't been fired up lately

You can't just jam it in gear and go

I know I'm still not up to speed

But last night I had to test the road
