Road Sign Always Look Better Looking Over Your Shoulder

He said he's tired of working overtime
And troubles weighing on his mind in class
Said hed like to pack his bags and run away
And bever look back
He said this life of mine is like doing time
For crimes that I didnt commit
And life is just a game I'm on the losing team
And I just want to quit

And she said we could take this weekend
Drive out past city limits
Keep on driving just as far as we can go
And maybe when we get back things will seem a little better
Things will work out in a way we couldn't know
A way we couldn't know

He said hes tired of working overtime
Troubles weighing on his mind in class
Said hed like to pack his bags and run away
And bever look back
He said this life of mine is like doing time
For crimes that I didnt commit
He said if life is just a game I'm on the losing team
And I just want to quit

And she said we could take this weekend
Drive out past city limits
Keep on driving just as far as we can go
And she said we could take this weekend
And make it last forever
Deal the shackles of our lives a breaking blow

Because to run away is victory
A tank of gas is freedom
And a starry night and open road is hope
We can take a fast car
Or maybe just close our eyes
And when we open them the world we want
Can be the world we know
