stole my ticket to dallas,
said i couldn't have this
you said i'd never make it there,
but i'm calling from a pay phone there
caught a ride from a friend who said she didn't mind to pretend to be a spanish driver
and she looks like minnie driver
and i think that she cares for me the way i used to care for you

in the center of it all again,
don't ask,
worry,
or we'll never win
because the world is just a stage,
and this letter's just a page long
much longer than the one before,
the one you left crumpled on my bathroom floor
it said 'don't go anywhere'
too late,
i'm already there

and i think that she loves me,
but i wish you loved me too

life on the edge is hard enough,
i don't want to worry about what's going on with you
don't wanna miss my rendezvous with rhonda
she booked my flight to san jose,
but we both know that's not a place in mexico
but it's a place i'd like to go

and i think we're getting married tomorrow
so do you have three hundred dollars i could borrow?
