Aint Even Close by Karly Driftwood Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 2019

[Verse 1]
I was driving the backroads on a sunny day
To Memphis, Tennessee
The day was slow as molasses but my life keeps passing
Seems like every year is catching up with speed

[Chorus 1]
So I've had some time
To think about the people that I used to know
Seems like everyone in my hometown is settling down
They’re buying a house and making a home
Well if that's where I'm supposed to be
I ain’t even close

[Verse 2]
Well I was looking out at that open sky
I didn't have no one on that ride
I was wishing the man I loved was by my side
He likes to sleep with me
But he don't want to buy a ring
He says he likes some good girl in Louisville, Kentucky
(And everyone knows that I'm not a good girl)
[Chorus 2]
So I've had some time
To think about the people I've chased and what's gone wrong
Maybe I should call a family member back home
We push away those who love us most
Yeah, I'm trying to be a better person
But I still ain’t even close

[Verse 3]
Well I gotta get my shit together ’cause I'm running out of time
I want to move fast, but I’m still so far behind
Why does it seem like everyone else has it right?
I feel like something's missing in my life

[Chorus 3]
So I've had some time
To think about my friends that are here and the ones that have died
Sometimes I wish it would've been me instead
When I feel like giving up on this ride
But I know if they were here right now
Oh if they were here right now, they’d tell me to quit bitchin'
Be thankful that I'm still alive

[Outro]
I was driving the backroads on a sunny day
To Memphis, Tennessee
