Filled her up and went inside
For some Gatorade and Camel Lights
Bought the whole pack just to have one
I don't drink like I drank last night
Hammers pounding behind my eyes
But I sing out loud with the radio on
To a Springsteen song
On the car ride home
Once I get out on the open road
I throw that tie out the car window
Make damn sure I never have to see it again
Abandoned farms on both sides
Hit the windmills take it up to 85
Cuz the cops round here are my childhood friends
So let the memories come on strong
On the car ride home
You start thinking
Sinking deep into your heart
Flipping pages of your life so far
What have you done right
What have you done wrong
Where in this world do you really belong
5 hours to go on the car ride home
I need some sleep and one more day
The impossible and a chance to say
All the things I never got to say
As I flick another ash
I need answer so I ask
Why the best ones get taken away
I just left your stone
I'm on the car ride home
You start thinking
Sinking deep into your heart
Flipping pages of your life so far
What have you done right
What have you done wrong
Where in this world do you really belong
3 hours to go on the car ride home
City lights in the distance
Reception on my phone
It's been a hell of a weekend
And I feel so alone
I start thinking sinking deep into my heart
Flipping pages of my life so far
What have I done right
What have I done wrong
Where in this world do I really belong
An hour to go on the car ride home
On the car ride home
