Carpenter, Mary Chapin - The Way I Feel Lyrics

It's all timeless - the Lady and her songs..

My lovely ex wife and I used to enjoy listening to MCC when we were driving back in the day when we still thought the world of each other...lol...first time I have ever heard this song...she is still pretty good

Come join "The Mary Chapin Carpenter Group" on Facebook.

I've taken that trip many times. Nice song.

Chapin, darlin', let's go for a ride.

I'm heading out without a tear
I'm heading out without a fight
Nothing like this empty road
To take some trouble off my mind
Had enough of sad days
Had enough of sleepless nights
I only need a tank of gas
Babe I'm going for a ride
Cause when I'm all alone on a midnight highway
There's nothing like two hands on the wheel
And the radio playing I Won't Back Down
Baby that's about the way I feel
Might be gone a couple of hours
Might be gone a couple of days
I won't know til I turn around
We'll have to see just how it plays
All the way down 81
I've got some friends in Nashville
Atlanta it's been way too long
By morning I'll make Asheville
Cause when I'm all alone on a midnight highway
There's nothing like two hands on the wheel
And the way the wind blows just before a rainstorm
Baby that's about the way I feel
Don't know if you tried to call
My phone ran out of signal
I don't know if you miss me at all:
'Cause I'm out here all alone on a midnight highway
And I've got both hands on the wheel
Passing darkened towns the world's forgotten
Baby that's about the way I feel
Just a little speck on the far horizon
Baby that's about the way I feel
And I won't back down

This is really a good song for travel.

Mary Chapin's writing is as beautiful as her image. She stands with the best writers.

Road music.......

10,000 Miles is such a touching song - with meaning - with feeling.  One of my favorite songs of all time.

I love her music. She is the reigning queen of folk music

When you've had a lousy day at work, put this on in the car and crank the volume to 11. Definate improvement.

We had the great good fortune to see her in Napa last year. She described this as a breakup song disguised as a road song.

I heard this the other day and thought it was a man. It now just sounds weird.

I thumbed down your comment and flagged it as spam.
Maybe you should go disagree with your wife if you have one.

so did you come on here just to write this? I search youtube before I buy a CD. It sucks to buy a CD and find out that you only like one or two songs.

When searching for an artists on Youtube, one hopes to find unseen and rare footage and not a video of the like, which you upload in large quantities. If one is wishing to hear the studio recordings, one ought to purchase the songs or albums. Are you certain that your videos are not in violation of intellectual rights?

Please consider this.

JasonKT, I admire your taste in music and appreciate your interest in the songs by these artists. However, I find your vidoes consisting simply of a studio recording with a still picture or still pictures problematic. I consider this spam.

One of my favorite songs. She is the best!
