Wasting Gas

Cleaned out my desk at work yesterday I haven't told Caroline, don't know what to say So I get dressed up in my shirt and tie She fixes me a lunch and kisses me goodbye And I drive around, but I'm going nowhere Down county two lanes that lead nowhere Through endless fields of Bermuda grass Just spinning my wheels and wasting gas It's two weeks now since they let me go Still telling lies when I come home When we go to bed she reaches for me I turn my back, pretend that I'm asleep And I drive around, but I'm going nowhere Down county two lanes that lead nowhere Through endless fields of Bermuda grass Just spinning my wheels and wasting gas A month gone by now, and I think she knows Cuz when I get dressed and ready to go She fixes me lunch and kisses me goodbye Trying to hide the tears in her eyes Sometimes I find myself down on Hilton Head Among the mansions, where Emily lives I think about us seventeen years old As I see her looking pretty through her window
