(Kevin Denney/Don Sampson)

Check engine light came on in my pick up truck

So I took a piece of black tape and I covered it up

I knew there was a problem underneath the hood

But I just kept on drivin' a little faster then I should

I told myself that it would be okay

Ignore it and it'll go away

And as to be expected a few miles down the road

My really nothin's wrong here went up in smoke

Kinda like the mornin' you said,"we need to talk"

I pretended I was listenin' but I was blowin' it off

I didn't hear a thing you had to say

Ignore it and it'll go away

The problem wasn't that there was a problem

The problem was the choice that I made

Why did I choose not to notice

What was right there in my face?

I'd like to say I'm sorry,but it's a little to late for that

You've gone on with your life...I'm glad I really am

I don't know why it took me so long to realize

I don't what else to say except that I've

Learned my lesson one true love too late

Ignore it and it'll go away

Ignore it and it will go away
