Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was driving down the 40, leaving Indiana
On my way to San Francisco, warm whiskey in my hand
A hard truth lay before me, the officer tapped on the window
I was playing tee-ball in a dream with my old man
[Verse 2]
Watching TV with the sound off, waiting for a sign
I'd give anything to see you one more time
I'd settle for a dream, and there you'd be
And I would get to hold you
For the first time in a long time
For the first time in a long time
[Verse 3]
Feels like God don't give a damn, when you're waking up at 4 a.m.
Wearing a reflective vest, blowing smoke into the ceiling fan
And there's a thousand miles between the place where you last felt at home
And a thousand hours till you've paid back what you owe
[Verse 4]
Driving home with no seat belt on, ignoring every sign
Maybe I'll just come to you instead, leave this all behind
And there you'd be
And I'd be happier than ever
For the first time in a long time
For the first time in a long time
[Bridge]
It don't break me like it used to
It don't break me like it used to
It don't break me like it used to
For the first time in a long time
For the first time in a long time
For the first time in a long time
[Outro]
I was driving down the 40, leaving Indiana
