| I was sitting at home all alone |
| When the phone rang |
| My old man on the line saying what’s up son |
| Tell me some new things |
| I didn’t have the heart to tell him she was gone, gone, gone |
| So, I just lied and said pop here’s what’s going on, on, on |
| I’m going 25 down a back road |
| Just burning gas, you know how that goes |
| With a cross breeze 'cross me |
| Dog up in the front seat |
| Talking anything but the truth |
| Got Shelton on the station playing «Kiss My Ass» |
| Got dad thinking I ain’t doing too bad |
| From his point of view |
| This green grass countryside |
| And a fresh can of chew |
| Are the only things I’m going through |
| I could tell him I’ve been drinking |
| That she ain’t around no more |
| But he’d take a two hour ride |
| In his '95 Ford |
| I told him she was gone for the weekend |
| Yeah, it’s easier than telling him I’ve gone off the deep end, so |
| I’m going 25 down a back road |
| Just burning gas, you know how that goes |
| With a cross breeze 'cross me |
| Dog up in the front seat |
| Talking anything but the truth |
| Got Shelton on the station playing «Kiss My Ass» |
| Got dad thinking I ain’t doing too bad |
| From his point of view |
| This green grass countryside |
| And a fresh can of chew |
| Are the only things I’m going through |
| Going through these bottles |
| Going through this pain |
| Ran through half a pack sitting 'round today |
| Since you been gone I’ve been to hell and back |
| All I could tell him is that |
| I’m going 25 down a back road |
| Just burning gas, you know how that goes |
| With a cross breeze 'cross me |
| Dog up in the front seat |
| Talking anything but the truth |
| Got Shelton on the station playing «Kiss My Ass» |
| Got dad thinking I ain’t doing too bad |
| From his point of view |
| This green grass countryside |
| And a fresh can of chew |
| Are the only things I’m going through |
