It Gets the Worst at Night Lyrics
It gets the worst at night
With nothing on my mind
But you
I'm thinking too damn much
I go ahead and get up
And put on my boots
So I can drive as far as I can get from you
On my way out of town
I drive by your house
Two times
It don't do me no good
I didn't think that it would
Because you're not mine
You might have seen me but I kept on driving by
Going to lose myself on some dark road tonight
Because there's something about just laying down
And taking all that pain
I'd rather drive all night, if it's all the same
Because half a tank of gas will get me far enough
To be completely lost by the time the sun comes up
And so it's four AM
I'm on the road again
To find some peace
Some old gravel road
God only knows
There's nothing for me
And there ain't nothing left for me in Tennessee
Because I know you're not awake thinking of me
And there's something about just laying down
And taking all that pain
I'd rather drive all night if it's all the same
Because half a tank of gas will get me far enough
To be completely lost by the time the sun comes up
And there ain't nothing left for me in Tennessee
Because I know you're not awake thinking of me
With nothing on my mind
But you
I'm thinking too damn much
I go ahead and get up
And put on my boots
So I can drive as far as I can get from you
I drive by your house
Two times
It don't do me no good
I didn't think that it would
Because you're not mine
You might have seen me but I kept on driving by
Going to lose myself on some dark road tonight
Because there's something about just laying down
And taking all that pain
I'd rather drive all night, if it's all the same
To be completely lost by the time the sun comes up
I'm on the road again
To find some peace
Some old gravel road
God only knows
There's nothing for me
And there ain't nothing left for me in Tennessee
Because I know you're not awake thinking of me
And there's something about just laying down
And taking all that pain
I'd rather drive all night if it's all the same
To be completely lost by the time the sun comes up
Because I know you're not awake thinking of me

I always loved this song.
Not until just recently have I really understood it. Almost makes me want it cry, it's midnight and it's horrible right now.
I love Lucero......
it takes half a tank of gas for me to get home and the fact that the one i want thinking of me isnt, there really isnt anything left for me here in tennessee.
this one def. hits home.
Yeah, who can't relate to this? I know that, for me, driving (especially getting lost on old country roads) is the best therapy there is. And the fact that he's so heartbroken over her, but she doesn't even care... Oh, god! This is one that I often play to myself late at night, when I can't sleep cause I'm too busy thinking about 'her'.
she gave up on him
its about missing someone a lot and so much that u just feel like disapearing off the face of the earth. but even though it hurts a lot u dont really wanna forget the memory so u make urself miserable by drivin around his/her house or the places filled with memories.
On the DVD "Brightest Stars on Lonesome Nights", Ben talks about how he drove by this girls house twice but he didn't stop because she was on the porch with another boy. Later she says she saw him and asks him why he didn't stop. His response is "'Cos you were with another boy".
