The Knot Comes Untied

[Verse 1]

She's a got a Rand McNally map

And a tank full of gasoline

Yeah, love's been heading south

And now she's heading out of New Orleans

She throws her last picture out the window

Near the Louisiana line

She's somewhere between dreaming

And leaving old feelings behind

As the knot comes untied

[Chorus]

Her heart is running scared

She says a silent prayer

Lord, I'm counting on you

To help me get through this night

There's memories like mountains

And each one gets harder to climb

As the knot comes untied

[Verse 2]

On one hand, she wonders

If what she is doing is wrong

'Cause it sure is a long stretch of highway

Between goin' and gone

She's been down this road

A thousand times in her mind

But what's done is done

She won't turn around this time

As the knot comes untied

[Chorus]

Her heart is running scared

She says a silent prayer

Lord, I'm counting on you

To help me get through this night

There's memories like mountains

And each one gets harder to climb

As the knot comes untied

[Outro]

She's got Rand McNally map

And a tank full of gasoline
