Down the Road

Another night here on the bathroom floor Could've sworn I'd read this script before Boy meets the girl Then the boy walks out the door I always try to be an optimist Pick myself up and just get on with it I was driving alone Peddle to the floor Blame it on stubborn ambition Cause I've always had tunnel vision Turns out you were 20 miles away And I'd been wasting my time on the interstate Damn it, I wish I'd known you were just down the road If I'd had known that there'd be brighter days I would've saved myself a whole lotta heartache Damn it, I wish I'd known you were just down the road All along you were just down the road (Down the road, down the road, down the road) Now I'm learning love don't have to be hard And I could be safe here lying in your arms Wishing I knew I didn't have to look so far (so far) Never knew what I was missing Til I found you there just in the distance Turns out you were 20 miles away And I'd been wasting my time on the interstate Damn it, I wish I'd known you were just down the road (Down the road, down the road) If I'd had known that there'd be brighter days I would've saved myself a whole lotta heartache Damn it, I wish I'd known you were just down the road All along you were just down the road (Down the road, down the road) Oh yeah (All along you were just down the road) You were just down You were just down Just down the road I thought good was as good as it gets Little did I know there'd be better yet A whole damn life waiting for me Just down the road
