lyrics

I’m driving on the open road
I’ll drive until my mind grows numb
I will drive until my feet feel sore
From doing nothing at all

I pull into the service station
I smile at the girl behind the counter
I buy myself a cup of coffee
And i think about buying cigarettes oh no

I’m back onto the road again
Im practicing conversations
I wish I had a dog
So i didn’t look so lonely

My sister’s got a boyfriend now
She’s found her very own travel companion
I guess i’ll have to go alone
And do the things on my own

If i had a daughter
I would tell her not to order
The same things twice
Cos there are too many other things that are nice

I pull into the service station
I smile at the boy behind the counter
I buy myself a cup of coffee
And I think about buying cigarettes oh no

I’m back onto the road again
Phoning home to my mother
Just to tell her that i’m ok
And i’ll see her in a couple of days

The sun is setting in the distance
I wish i had a dog
So that i could shut my eyes at the rest stop
And not worry about getting murdered

I pull into the service station
I talk to the lady behind the counter
She tells me of her daughter
And how she never orders on thing twice
Doesn’t order the same thing twice

I buy myself a pack of cigarettes
And I’m back onto the road again
I’m thinking about marrying
The next person who is nice
So that i can have my own travel companion
