Original Songs by Kent Newsome

I Know Better Now


I guess now that you've settled down
You probably don't have time to talk
After all this time I still can't believe
It was me that took the walk

I saw your picture in the paper
The prettiest bride I've ever seen
I guess you finally got the life
You tried so hard to have with me

Chorus:
But the highway kept calling my name out loud
Thought I could get along without you somehow
I believed that for a while
I know better now

I remember when I told you
That I'd be leaving before too long
It seemed like the right thing to do
But time has proved it wrong

And now when I think about it
I can't believe that I was such a fool
To choose that rambling way of life
Over a girl like you

Chorus:
But the highway kept calling my name out loud
Thought I could get along without you somehow
I believed that for a while
I know better now

Bridge:
They say the grass is greener
On the other side
It's not until you get there
That you realize it's a lie

Chorus:
But the highway kept calling my name out loud
Thought I could get along without you somehow
I believed that for a while
I know better now
