Tonight my highway companions are the stardust and the moon
Cigarette, dashboard radio, going in and out of tune
I'm running out of chances, so I gotta make this count
The things I've learned to live with, I'm trying to put them down
How a siren from a cop car could make my heartbeat race
The made-up occupations to try and save face
All of the phone calls late at night
Desperation in the voices on the end of the line
So I'm drivin' far away
Somewhere that I can turn the page
Will this dark road break me down
Before I get to turn around
We used to tell ourselves it was just boys being boys
One day you're pushing forty, it's still the same old noise
Pushing powder, pills, methamphetamine
From the addicts on the corner to the rich kid party scene
So I'm drivin' far away
Somewhere that I can turn the page
Will this dark road break me down
Before I get to turn around
How far do I have to run
To leave behind the things I've done
So I'm drivin' far away
Somewhere that I can turn the page
Will this dark road break me down
Before I get to turn around
So I'm drivin' far away
Somewhere that I can turn the page
Will this dark road break me down
Before I get to turn around
Before I get to turn around
