Tar Snakes

I'm chasing them tar snakes
Outrunning this heartache
More gas and less brakes
Far as the eye can see
I'm hoping this white line
Wipes you from my mind
Like bleach and turpentine
Wipes my memory clean

The thought of you is such a heavy load
I bear that burden of your ghost in every place I go
I never learned the luxury of learning how to cope
So now I'm gonna hit that open road

I'm chasing them tar snakes
Outrunning this heartache
More gas and less brakes
Far as the eye can see
I'm hoping this white line
Wipes you from my mind
Like bleach and turpentine
Wipes my memory clean

The truest form of love, you were to me
That's why I had to leave this town and save my dignity
But every place I go is just as haunted as the last
Your smile's in the bottom of every empty glass

I'm chasing them tar snakes
Outrunning this heartache
More gas and less brakes
Far as the eye can see
I'm hoping this white line
Wipes you from my mind
Like bleach and turpentine
Wipes my memory clean
Like bleach and turpentine
Wipes my memory clean
