Things I’m Going Through

[Verse 1]
I was sittin' at home, all alone, when the phone rang
My old man on the line, sayin' "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, said "Pop, here's what's going on, on, on"

[Chorus]
I'm goin' 25 down a backroad
Just burnin' gas, you know how that goes
With a cross breeze cross me
Dog up in the front seat
Talkin' anything but the truth
Got Shelton on the station, playin' Kiss My Ass
God damn, thinkin' I ain't doin' too bad
From his point of view, this green grass country side
And a fresh can of chew
Are the only things I'm goin' through

[Verse 2]
I could tell him I've been drinkin', 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 tellin' him I've gone off the deep end, so

[Chorus]
I'm goin' 25 down a backroad
Just burnin' gas, you know how that goes
With a cross breeze cross me
Dog up in the front seat
Talkin' anything but the truth
Got Shelton on the station, playin' Kiss My Ass
God damn, thinkin' I ain't doin' too bad
From his point of view, this green grass country side
And a fresh can of chew
Are the only things I'm goin' through

[Bridge]
Goin' through these bottles
Goin' through this pain
Ran through half a pack sittin' round today
Since you've been gone I've been to hell and back
All I can tell him is that

[Chorus]
I'm goin' 25 down a backroad
Just burnin' gas, you know how that goes
With a cross breeze cross me
Dog up in the front seat
Talkin' anything but the truth
Got Shelton on the station, playin' Kiss My Ass
God damn, thinkin' I ain't doin' too bad
From his point of view, this green grass country side
And a fresh can of chew
Are the only things I'm goin' through
