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
