lyrics

Phone call from the gas station
Got my car turned around in a government office
Follow the headlights, missed my exit, I missed the next one
I wasn’t paying much attention, I’ll just be honest

I drove my car at a wall
You return my call
I was screaming bloody murder just like Shelley Duvall
Wondering if the time was right

I had a box of our stuff
Packed in the trunk
Not much, just some shoes and a picture of us
Don’t know what I’d say if anyone should stop by

It’s a drive I’ve made 1000000 times before
It’s a drive I might never make again
And all the signs bleed into the colors of the forest
And the lines on the highway begin to bend

It’s getting late yeah it’s a quarter past two
I start think maybe I bit off more than I can chew
Still I never meant to disrespect you

It’s Halloween so if I get home by three
I’ll be walking around town just like Jamie Lee
Wondering where my friends have gone

And it’s true there’s been some sideways rain here
It’s true that there’s been some ringing in my ears
It’s true there’s been monsters standing way too near

Still it’s the end of the line it’s the end of my turn
I’m gonna make it out of here just like Marilyn Burns
with the blood dripping down my face

Because if that’s what it takes then that’s what it takes
I put the car into gear and I ease off the brakes
If that’s what it takes that’s what it takes.
