[Verse 1]
Well, I left yesterday headed west
I kissed you goodbye, you wished me the best
I told you I loved you still, but you dont know why
Yeah, I always leave in the nick of time
Yeah

[Verse 2]
I said I've got to go, but I'll be back real soon
I'll be comin' home with the harvest moon
Tell your mom and them I love them too
Ooh, I dreamed about this, I dreamed about you

[Pre-Chorus]
But when darkness turns to day
My memories fade away
Away

[Chorus]
You need to know that this ain't forever
I might be gone tonight, but I won't be gone forever
We might be apart for now, but soon we'll be together
But you need to know, oh, that this ain't forever

[Verse 2]
This highways got my heart tonight
You can have it back, but it's gonna take a fight
Motel rooms and long midnight drives
This road, it breathes a brand new life
[Pre-Chorus]
But when darkness turns to day
My memories fade away
Away

[Chorus]
You need to know that this ain't forever
I might be gone tonight, but I won't be gone forever
We might be apart for now, but soon we'll be together
But you need to know, oh, that this ain't forever

[Pre-Chorus]
But when darkness turns to day
My memories fade away
Away

[Chorus]
You need to know that this ain't forever
I might be gone tonight, but I won't be gone forever
We might be apart for now, but soon we'll be together
But you need to know, oh girl, that this ain't forever

[Outro]
Well, I left yesterday headed west
