How Soon

You came in like a gust of breeze A cool wind tryin' to find the heat Let myself fall for you A sunset chasing a different hue You were too good to be true Gone again before I knew How soon before the rubber meets the road And you find another town to pass on through How long before the mirror makes it clear The empty road can't show you nothing new This Chevy you've been riding on the one you ride to every dawn How soon til that rusts out too? How soon til that rusts out too? Never been too satisfied Can't keep up with your own stride Second hand chasing the next round I'm counting down until the hour You've lost all your staying power And I can stop all guessing when How soon before the rubber meets the road And you find another town to pass on through How long before the mirror makes it clear The empty road can't show you nothing new This Chevy you've been riding on the one you ride to every dawn How soon til that rusts out too? How soon til that rusts out too? Sweet nights for lonely days Was enough to keep me wishing for a while When you're gone I know that fire in your eye Will someday lose its shine So I'll hold my head up high When you call it's not a cry Won't get wrapped up in your thread You're an easy fix without a mend I can count on both hands How many kinds I've known like you How soon before the rubber meets the road And you find another town to pass on through How long before the mirror makes it clear The empty road can't show you nothing new This Chevy you've been riding on the one you ride to every dawn How soon til that rusts out too? How soon til that rusts out too? How soon how soon til that rusts out too?
