Interstate 10

[Verse 1]
Motel coffee
Plastic cup
3 a.m
Your head on my shoulder
Radio humming our song again
Your chipped red polish
Feet on my dusty dash
You traced our names in the window
Then the light turned to black
[Chorus]
Now I'm doing eighty on Interstate 10
Different exit
Same old regret again
Every green sign keeps spelling your name
Wish I'd fought harder
Wish I had stayed
If I could turn this car around
I would then
But I'm just driving alone on Interstate 10
[Verse 2]
I held your hand
At that rusted over look-out
Promised we'd leave this town
You laughed and said
"figure it out"
I swallowed my questions
You swallowed your hurt
We kissed through the silence
Till silence started to burn
[Chorus]
Now I'm doing eighty on Interstate 10
Different exit
Same old regret again
Every green sign keeps spelling your name
Wish I'd fought harder
Wish I had stayed
If I could turn this car around
I would then
But I'm just driving alone on Interstate 10
[Bridge]
What if I'd called you back that night (hey)
What if I'd said what I meant in the fight
What if I'd packed up my fear and left with you
Would we be ghosts in the rearview
[Chorus]
Now I'm doing eighty on Interstate 10
White lines flicker like the days we spent
Every green sign keeps spelling your name
Wish I'd grown up instead of walking away
If I could turn this car around
I would then
But I'm just fading out on Interstate 10
