Word for Word

Time flies
Like we did on the highway
I was surprised
That she even looked my way
I guess 25 will be the best
Year of my life
Running away from the people
Who didn't know us we would
Cross states always keep those
Headlights glowing and an
Ashtray in the cupholder between us
I remember it plain as day
She'd say
"Hit the window baby
The smoke it drives me crazy
And in fact I think we're out of control lately"
It was me and her playing tricks on the world
And like a song I remember it
Word for word
Seat belts
Only thing holding us together
We were unwell
Fixing problems with some liquor
And I can't tell if I ever recovered myself
Cause I lost me and she lost her
And the tears in my eyes made everything blur
But when I saw the tail lights it hurt
God knows where she'll land
God knows if she ever gave a damn
But if we ever ended up back on that two-lane
She would say
"Hit the window baby
The smoke it drives me crazy
And in fact I think we're out of control lately"
It was me and her playing tricks on the world
And like a song I remember it
Word for word
I still can't drive down her block
I still can't drink gin on the rocks
I still can't bring myself to change the locks
And I still can't drive through Little Rock
Without thinking of everything I lost
And wishing I could hear her say
"Hit the window baby
The smoke it drives me crazy
And in fact I think we're out of control lately"
It was me and her playing tricks on the world
And like a song I remember it
