Soon As You Can

I left that sun sinking west in California
I was supposed to say in LA a few more weeks
But the next time that old sun and I meet up
I’ll be a thousand miles east
Fifty dollars and a gas card in my pocket
That I’m thinking might already be maxed out
That’s just one of those little crazy things
I really didn’t stop to think about

Cause when a man wants to be with a woman
There ain’t no way of getting there too fast
When you know who you want to spend
The rest of your life with you want to start
The rest of your life
As soon as you can

That state trooper let me off with just a warning
And a promise that I’d try to slow her down
Man that promise was forgotten
By the time I’d gotten two miles out of town

Don’t know how much a truck can handle
But the closer that I get I keep pushing it

[Chorus]
