Red and White

The rain ricocheted off the windshield And he addled by the cup Under his breath in a whisper He repeats a single dirty word He had to do a friend a favor He made a promise he can't keep Cigarette burns between his fingers Just in case he falls asleep He says: "I will take care of everything But I can't ask you to marry me If I can't afford the rain." The road ahead, is red and white Strung out forever like Christmas lights And I should change my ways Cause I know it ain't right. And I should turn around But I drive all night The interstate became a canvas He turned into someone else He argued with his own existence But he can't convince himself He won't take no for an answer But it's the only one he will get He wants to leave the past behind him But it ain't done with him yet. He says: "I will take care of everything But I can't ask you to marry me If I can't afford the rain." The road ahead, is red and white Strung out forever Like Christmas lights And I should change my ways Cause I know it ain't right And I should turn around But I drive all night There is no one without the other We could run forever But the past is never far behind Standing in between two mirrors I crossed my Heart, I crossed my finger I crossed the line. The road ahead, is red and white Strung out forever like Christmas lights And I should change my ways Cause I know it ain't right And I should turn around But I drive all night Yeah, I drive all night Uh-uhhnn Yeah, I drive all night Yeah, I drive all night Uh-uhhnn Oh-uhhnn
