I'm taking the long drive back to my home town It takes about 5 hours to get down south Maybe 4 if you don't mind Putting your foot to the floor But that has never really been for me I stop in little towns and buy myself coffee Think about my passenger seat And how it looks so empty Except for the clothes and books And other things That I'm taking home with me I think about how if you were sitting there I wouldn't mind turning the stereo down So I could hear you speak And I get to this stretch of road It is dusk and the air is kinda smokey I think to myself That it's the most beautiful place That I've ever been Maybe cos it means that I'm closer to home Maybe cos I know that the next time I see it There's a possibility That you might be sitting here with me I put Neil Young on the stereo I chain-smoke to pass the time It gets dark and my eyes get tired So I pull over fora little while And think about how much I hate you For making me not want to leave Not want to leave the city
