Rubber Tires

Flower petals on the windshield It was April when we met A bottle in your right hand You weren't sober yet I stood there in the street And said I was ready to go You asked how could that be You're not even twenty years old And I have this thought sometimes That I should run into the night And go back to the place Where only you could find me Can we drive until The rubber tires out Teardrops on the wheel A love song in your mouth And we'll drive so fast We'll make it out of here Before the light Illuminates our fears You were seven when your dad left You crying in the cold That was all you ever said about it And all I needed to know But he gave you one last thing A rusty metal dream And he taught you how to run From anything, anything Can we drive until The rubber tires out Teardrops on the wheel A love song in your mouth And we'll drive so fast We'll make it out of here Before the light Illuminates our fears It's three in the morning I'm calling you up again To tell you about a bad dream Some awful accident A stranger on the line Says you've been gone a while And I remember what you said to me The night you died Can we drive until The rubber tires out Teardrops on the wheel A love song in your mouth And we'll drive so fast We'll make it out of here Before the light Illuminates our fears
