Well I bought a taste of freedom
And I paid my state of mind
Well let's put some mileage on this engine
Cross a few state lines
I may not make this Winter
And I surely won't this way
But I hear there's warmer weather
A few motel rooms away
Well I'm sure it felt like Autumn
When you were coming down last May
But you got clean for the Summer
And I overdosed on escape
Now that I've finally learned
From punishment I cannot bear
I cannot say I wasn't warned
I cannot say it wasn't fair
And now that I'm off scot free
I've lost the words to even lie
So here I sit in silence
Guilty and tongue-tied
It still feels like December
Even with the Spring winds this strong
I know I can't run forever
But I can't stay here long
No I can't stay here long
