Car Trouble

Hey, so, it's a really long story

But I've been drivin' all afternoon (I've-)

(Drivin'...)

I've been drivin' all afternoon

But hate to say it, I won't be there soon

And though I'm late, you know I just can't wait

To come home to my slice of heaven on toast

But my Grand Prix broke down without fail

Another flat tire and another nail

I miss your smile, but this could take a while

'Cause this "Road Closed" sign says there's no way around

No, first, I felt kinda sad

But I said out loud, "You know, this isn't so bad"

Your photograph on my dash knows it's true

It might take me forever, but I can't wait to see you

I've been trudgin' since 2 a.m.

On the side of this highway 'cause back there, when

I patched that flat, I ran on fumes

And that was a bad move 'cause yeah, I ran outta gas

The heavens opened, the rain came down

Now I'm soaked to the bone, but I'm homeward-bound

So I just don't care how much I have to bear

'Cause you'll be there when I walk in through the door

So, down this road, I will run

And only stop to buy you a bouquet for no reason

Hey, it's kinda crazy what daisies can do

It might take me forever, but I can't wait to see you

Well, hey, I'd say that the real question is

"Am I unavoidably detained

Or extremely fashionably late?"

There ain't nothin' ventured, nothin' gained

It just really hasn't been my day

But I'm on my way

Am I unavoidably detained

Or unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?

There ain't nothin' ventured, nothin' gained

It just really, truly hasn't been my day

But I'm on my way

If I blew in by daybreak, I'd be in luck

I'd hand you a coffee right when you woke up

But my ETA just jumped to MIA

And I'm so lost, my mind is startin' to stray

Let's say I fly to Kathmandu

To show the whole world I got a lot to prove

But all I find is all these highways wind

And lead back to my slice of heaven on toast

Oh, would your heart kinda glow

If I held your hand and I promised to stay home?

Hey, when I blow in, that's the first thing I'll do

It might take me forever

It might take me forever

But I love you forever, and I can't wait to see you

Yeah

Whoo!

Hey, I'd say that the real question is

"Am I unavoidably detained

Or extremely fashionably late?"

There ain't nothin' ventured, nothin' gained

It just really, truly hasn't been my day

But I'm on my way

Am I unavoidably detained

Or unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?

There ain't nothin' ventured, nothin' gained

It just really, truly hasn't been my day

But I'm on my way, yeah

I've been drivin' all afternoon

But hate to say it, I won't be there soon
