Rubber Tires

Flower petals on the windshield
It was April when we met
A bottle in your right hand
You weren't sober yet
I stood there in the street
And said I was ready to go
You asked how could that be
You're not even twenty years old

And I have this thought sometimes
That I should run into the night
And go back to the place
Where only you could find me

Can we drive until
The rubber tires out
Teardrops on the wheel
A love song in your mouth
And we'll drive so fast
We'll make it out of here
Before the light
Illuminates our fears

You were seven when your dad left
You crying in the cold
That was all you ever said about it
And all I needed to know

But he gave you one last thing
A rusty metal dream
And he taught you how to run
From anything, anything

Can we drive until
The rubber tires out
Teardrops on the wheel
A love song in your mouth
And we'll drive so fast
We'll make it out of here
Before the light
Illuminates our fears

It's three in the morning
I'm calling you up again
To tell you about a bad dream
Some awful accident

A stranger on the line
Says you've been gone a while
And I remember what you said to me
The night you died

Can we drive until
The rubber tires out
Teardrops on the wheel
A love song in your mouth
And we'll drive so fast
We'll make it out of here
Before the light
Illuminates our fears
