He was the king of the county with a souped-up truck
Rollin' down Main Street, actin' like he owned the luck
But behind closed doors he'd been foolin' around
Never thought I'd find out, thought I'd never hear a sound
I found out the truth and it broke my heart
But I wasn't gonna let him tear me apart
With a Louisville slugger and a fiery grin
I took a bat to his pride and I did him in
Now I'm ridin' free with the wind in my hair
Left him standin' there in his own despair
I smashed those headlights, busted up the grill
Tore through the tires, I was gettin' my fill
Left him a note on the cracked windshield
Said, you broke my heart, now see how it feels
I found out the truth and it broke my heart
But I wasn't gonna let him tear me apart
With a Louisville slugger and a fiery grin
I took a bat to his pride and I didn't end
Now I'm ridin' free with the wind in my hair
Left him standin' there in his own despair
I packed up my bags and I hit the road
Headed for a new town where love's not alone
With each mile I drove, I felt lighter inside
No more secrets to keep, no more tears to hide
I found out the truth and it broke my heart
But I wasn't gonna let him tear me apart
With a Louisville slugger and a fiery grin
I took a bat to his pride and I did him in
Now I'm ridin' free with the wind in my hair
Left him standin' there in his own despair
I drove away in the dead of night
Headed for the sunrise to find my own light
I ain't lookin' back, I'm done with the pain
Gonna find my own road, gonna dance in the rain
I found out the truth and it broke my heart
But I wasn't gonna let him tear me apart
With a Louisville slugger and a fiery grin
I took a bath to his pride and I did him in
Now I'm ridin' free with the wind in my hair
Left him standin' there in his own despair
He thought he had it all, but now he's just a fool
I showed him the door and I made my own room
With a heart made of gold and a spirit so strong
I'm movin' on up where I truly belong
I found out the truth and it broke my heart
But I wasn't gonna let him tear me apart
With a Louisville slugger and a fiery grin
I took a bat to his pride and I did him in.
Now I'm ridin' free with the wind in my hair
Left him standin' there in his own despair
He thought he had it all, but now he's just a fool
I showed him the door and I made my own rule
With a heart made of gold and a spirit so strong
I'm movin' on up where I truly belong
