lyrics

We’ve got some miles now,
so let’s find things to say;
you don’t owe me anything,
so let’s call it a giveaway.
Or crank the stereo:
“She Says What She Means.”
(And I’m amending my own lines
to accomplish the same thing.)

High beams on & jackets off,
forty minutes to Davidson,
and the wind is not enough
to replace the blasting sun.

I know you’re tired & you don’t wanna go back.
And I am sick of working on these same four lines.
I’ve got no stories left to help us pass the time,
but we’ve still got a hell of a drive.

We could just stop the car
and shed our earthly forms.
Leave our bones in a ditch;
we won’t need them anymore.
Avoid the impossible —
you can’t set a night on fire,
and we’ve got subtler means
and simpler desires.

Do a buck and then two dimes.
It’s flat and dark, it’s true,
but I drive it all the time,
and it’s easier with you.

I know you’re tired & you don’t wanna go back.
And I am sick of working on these same four lines.
I’ve got no stories left to help us pass the time,
but we’ve still got a hell of a drive.
