๐ Lyrics
That voice told my heart to turn around
But my heart, my heart, wouldn't shake
But that voice was so damn persistent, so I
I disconnected the brakes
And I pushed, I pushed that pedal down
I watched that fuel gauge as it went south
And I pushed, I pushed that pedal down
My engine sputtered and died
Right in front of her house
Her father was stationed overseas
And her mom was buried in the backyard
She didn't have a future there
She had five gallons of gasoline
She packed her things inside my car
And in the kitchen by the phone, with a felt-tip pen
She wrote a note
She said, "Daddy, I can't take it"
"I can't take it, I can't take it anymore"
"They tell me there's a world out there"
"But I just gotta make sure"
She turned around and took a last look
And then she shut that beater door
And I pushed that pedal down
That voice told my heart to turn around
But my heart, my heart, wouldn't shake
But that voice was so damn persistent, so I
I disconnected the brakes
Her father was stationed overseas
And her mom was buried in the backyard
She didn't have a future there
She had five gallons of gasoline
She packed her things inside my car
But my heart, my heart, wouldn't shake
But that voice was so damn persistent, so I
I disconnected the brakes
And I pushed, I pushed that pedal down
I watched that fuel gauge as it went south
And I pushed, I pushed that pedal down
My engine sputtered and died
Right in front of her house
Her father was stationed overseas
And her mom was buried in the backyard
She didn't have a future there
She had five gallons of gasoline
She packed her things inside my car
And in the kitchen by the phone, with a felt-tip pen
She wrote a note
She said, "Daddy, I can't take it"
"I can't take it, I can't take it anymore"
"They tell me there's a world out there"
"But I just gotta make sure"
She turned around and took a last look
And then she shut that beater door
And I pushed that pedal down
That voice told my heart to turn around
But my heart, my heart, wouldn't shake
But that voice was so damn persistent, so I
I disconnected the brakes
Her father was stationed overseas
And her mom was buried in the backyard
She didn't have a future there
She had five gallons of gasoline
She packed her things inside my car
