ONE THING I KNOW

by David Snyder

V1

I got a 67 beat up truck
My daddy gave to me
So I could drive across America
To find the one I need to see
He said I messed up when I let you go
Bought my freedom with misery
And  these rusted chains around my heart
Just won’t let me be
You sent me that letter from Tulsa
The address is easy to read
And your phone number’s written on my arm
Right underneath my sleeve
 I got one last chance to save my life
If I don’t drive too slow
And I can get to you by daylight
And just stay on this road

CH

One thing I know
This kind of hurt can kill 
And I’ve thought about it a million times
It’s just the way I feel
All my other words were meaningless
But these five words are true
I am driving to ask forgiveness and
I will always love you

V2

See freedom’s  a lot like peace of mind
That one thing’s for sure
Cause you don’t even know what it is
‘Til you don’t have it anymore
And I’d trade in all my yesterdays
For one night in your arms
Please give me one tomorrow
Just to tell you I was wrong

CH

One thing I know
This kind of hurt can kill 
And I’ve thought about it a million times
It’s just the way I feel
All my other words were meaningless
But these five words are true
I am driving to ask forgiveness and
I will always love you

BRIDGE
And the sun is coming up
And I’m just about to turn
I’m thirty miles from being saved
So these tires are gonna burn

CH

And One thing I know
This kind of hurt can kill 
And I’ve thought about it a million times
It’s just the way I feel
All my other words were meaningless
But these five words are true
I am driving to ask forgiveness and
I will always love you
