Down the Road

Another night here on the bathroom floor

Could've sworn I'd read this script before

Boy meets the girl

Then the boy walks out the door

I always try to be an optimist

Pick myself up and just get on with it

I was driving alone

Peddle to the floor

Blame it on stubborn ambition

Cause I've always had tunnel vision

Turns out you were 20 miles away

And I'd been wasting my time on the interstate

Damn it, I wish I'd known you were just down the road

If I'd had known that there'd be brighter days

I would've saved myself a whole lotta heartache

Damn it, I wish I'd known you were just down the road

All along you were just down the road

(Down the road, down the road, down the road)

Now I'm learning love don't have to be hard

And I could be safe here lying in your arms

Wishing I knew I didn't have to look so far (so far)

Never knew what I was missing

Til I found you there just in the distance

Turns out you were 20 miles away

And I'd been wasting my time on the interstate

Damn it, I wish I'd known you were just down the road

(Down the road, down the road)

If I'd had known that there'd be brighter days

I would've saved myself a whole lotta heartache

Damn it, I wish I'd known you were just down the road

All along you were just down the road

(Down the road, down the road)

Oh yeah

(All along you were just down the road)

You were just down

You were just down

Just down the road

I thought good was as good as it gets

Little did I know there'd be better yet

A whole damn life waiting for me

Just down the road
