Things I'm Going Through

I was sitting at home all alone when the phone rang
My old man on the line saying
"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 and said
"Pop here's what's going on, on, on"

I'm going twenty-five down a back road
Just burning gas, you know how that goes
With a cross breeze 'cross me, dog up in the front seat
Talking anything but the truth
Got Shelton on the station playing Kiss My Ass
Got dad thinking I ain't doing too bad
From his point of view, this green grass countryside
And a fresh can of chew
Are the only things I'm going through

I could tell him I've been drinking
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 telling him
I've gone off the deep end, so

I'm going twenty-five down a back road
Just burning gas, you know how that goes
With a cross breeze 'cross me, dog up in the front seat
Talking anything but the truth
Got Shelton on the station playing Kiss My Ass
Got dad thinking I ain't doing too bad
From his point of view, this green grass countryside
And a fresh can of chew
Are the only things I'm going through

Going through these bottles
Going through this pain
Ran through half a pack sitting 'round today
Since you've been gone I've been to hell and back
All I could tell him is that

I'm going twenty-five down a back road
Just burning gas, you know how that goes
With a cross breeze 'cross me, dog up in the front seat
Talking anything but the truth
Got Shelton on the station playing Kiss My Ass
Got dad thinking I ain't doing too bad
From his point of view, this green grass countryside
And a fresh can of chew
Are the only things I'm going through
