Well, this song doesn't really qualify as an "old" country song, but it does date back several years to my fomer die-hard country days. I haven't heard this song in years, but I thought the message it contains was rather relevant to my current life situation. So, when I heard it faintly playing in the background at the restaurant, I knew that I had to look up the lyrics (and I thought I would share them with you all).


"Shut Up And Drive" by Chely Wright

Shut up and drive
You don't know what you're talkin' about
He's not the one - You oughta know that by now. You've got one of those hearts that keeps changing your mind Your heart has a way of making you stay
So shut up and drive

Don't look in the mirror
He might have that look in his eyes
The one that's so strong
It strangles your will to survive
He's mastered the art of lookin' sincere
His eyes have a way of making you stay
Don't look in the mirror

I'm the voice you never listen to
And I had to break your heart to make you see
That he's the one who will be missin' you
And you'll only miss the man that you wanted him to be

Turn the radio on
To drown out the sound of goodbye
Blink back the tears
Show me you still got your pride
Just get yourself lost
In a sad country song
Those guys that they play know just what to say
Turn the radio on

Shut up and drive
Don't look in the mirror
Turn the radio on
Get out of here
Shut up and drive
