I left that sun sinkin' west in California I was supposed to stay in LA a few more weeks But the next time that old sun and I meet up I'll be a thousand miles east Fifty dollars and a gas card in my pocket That I'm thinkin' might already be maxed out That's just one of those little, crazy things I really didn't stop to think about [Chorus] 'Cause when a man wants to be with a woman There ain't no way of gettin' there too fast When you know who you wanna spend The rest of your life with, you wanna start The rest of your life As soon as you can That state trooper let me off with just a warnin' And a promise that I'd try to slow her down Man, that promise was forgotten By the time I'd gotten two miles out of town [Chorus] Don't know how much a truck can handle But the closer that I get, I keep pushin' it 'Cause when a man wants to be with a woman There ain't no way of gettin' there too fast When you know who you wanna spend The rest of your life with, you wanna start The rest of your life You can't wait to start the rest of your life As soon as you can As soon as you can As soon as you can
