Brother Trucker: Music

High heals on the pavement
Still wet from the rain
Car mufflers coughin’
And idling in pain
Baby please listen
Get back in the car
We’re 10 miles from nowhere
It’s cold and it’s dark
5 miles an hour
The speedometer reads
I said I was sorry
What else can I be?
Goddamn my bad temper
I wont drink no more beer
I’ll cut back on everything
You’ve been asking for years
It’s not like it’s the first time she’s heard that before
This time she just wants to believe it more
Baby we’re not children anymore
There’s frost on the windsh ield
Inside the car
Hazards are flashing
The sun’s coming up
