I'm standin' on Interstate Five
I should be walkin' but it's better to drive
Walkin' up those long, dark stairs
Waitin' for her to pay the fares
Ridin' down the long, dark road
You're carryin' an over-sized load
I'm cryin' but I'm feelin' better
'Cause I never sent that cold-hearted letter
I'm sittin' here drinkin' some wine
I'm thinkin' everythin' is just fine
Here I'm goin' down the line
Ridin' home on transit 9
Everythin' is goin' just great
Except my time which is too late
I'll be drivin' the big, green car
I don't have gas and I won't get far
Seein' me comin' down the street
You'll all go down and beg at my feet
I'm sittin' here losin' my time
I'm sittin' here writin' my sign
Here I'm goin' down that line
Ridin' home on transit 9
Everythin's goin' just fine
I'm goin' home on transit 9
