Shut up and drive, you don't know what you're talking about
He's not the one, you ought to 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 looking 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 missing 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've 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

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 missing you
And you'll only miss the man
That you wanted him to be

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