The Past Has Already Died

She threw her clothes into her car
Her favorite books and her dad's guitar
But she didn't get far she stopped for gasoline

She's filling up and she can't believe
She's wiping tears on her sweater sleeve
She spills gas on her jeans then pops an amphetamine

But everything's gonna be alright
Just keep focused on the taillights
Pedal to the floor and thoughts out of your mind
The future's uncertain but the past has already died

She cracks the window and lights a smoke
Fixes her hair and sips her coke
The radio's broke but she sings anyway

Her dad died when she was ten
Her mom couldn't deal just married again
Still sees other men and drinks most every day

But everything's gonna be alright
Just keep focused on the taillights
Pedal to the floor and thoughts out of your mind
The future's uncertain but the past has already died

She stops at a diner for something to eat
Chocolate chip pancakes her favorite treat
When she was young
When she was young
When she was young
Why'd she ever grow up?

But everything's gonna be alright
Just keep focused on the taillights
Pedal to the floor and thoughts out of your mind
The future's uncertain but the past has already died
The future's uncertain but the past has already died
