Exit Sign by Eric McCoy (Texas) Lyrics
The car door slams
The ice rattles
In my Diet Coke
I look up
In the rearview mirror
And off you walk
Your arms are folded
Your head is down
Your dress sways
And I turn the key
I put the car in drive and off I go
My foot presses down on the peddle
And I catch myself smiling in the mirror
Thinking back
To boring nights
The TV's glow
The blinds are like
Prison bars
On our apartment window
A Redbox movie
From the grocery store
Every Friday night
And I don't ever wanna go back
Stare at the same old walls, the same old pictures
The one with me, you, and our families
At some barbeque I couldn't wait to end
But the traffic's heavy
On 35
This time of night
I can't help
But sigh and think
What am I doing?
The exit sign
Is big and green
And it's coming up
And I'm just too old to give a damn
Being bored is better than being alone
I turn the car around and drive on home
Pull out my phone and type in your name
The ice rattles
In my Diet Coke
I look up
In the rearview mirror
And off you walk
Your arms are folded
Your head is down
Your dress sways
And I turn the key
I put the car in drive and off I go
My foot presses down on the peddle
And I catch myself smiling in the mirror
Thinking back
To boring nights
The TV's glow
The blinds are like
Prison bars
On our apartment window
A Redbox movie
From the grocery store
Every Friday night
And I don't ever wanna go back
Stare at the same old walls, the same old pictures
The one with me, you, and our families
At some barbeque I couldn't wait to end
But the traffic's heavy
On 35
This time of night
I can't help
But sigh and think
What am I doing?
The exit sign
Is big and green
And it's coming up
And I'm just too old to give a damn
Being bored is better than being alone
I turn the car around and drive on home
Pull out my phone and type in your name
