lyrics

On the wrong side of the highway you’re waving
At the passing trucks, they’re not slowing down
They could pick you up and show you around
Do little more than getting you out of town
And that wouldn’t fix what’s wrong

You spent your youth just waiting for life to happen
Making all your plans as good years were passing
All your friends, well they moved on long ago
And you’re still waiting for the good times to slow down enough to push you out

You can’t blame your mother maybe your dad though
At least he waited until you were grown up to go
Now he’s living large and has a new wife
He doesn’t come around he doesn’t have time
And that’s alright with you. That’s fine

You spend your nights out with the boys from the band
Romantic aspirations passing from hand to hand
You’ve had your eyes on the same girl for years
I doubt if she’ll still be around when you conquer your fears enough to speak

As the sun is coming up on the seventh day
Your hands are shaking as you walk towards interstate
You thought you might have had it all figured out
Your head is pounding and your demons are starting to shout at you

On the wrong side of the highway you’re waving
At the passing trucks they’re not slowing down
They could pick you up and show you around
Do little more than getting you out of town
And that wouldn’t fix what’s wrong
