Meg was trying her luck
On the slots at the truck stop off Exit 23
And she was tired of running out
She kept thinking, where's this highway gonna end for me?
And Michael knew this stop was sinking
Returning words to his dear wife
To find out what it means to fall in love again

I'm trying to live for this moment I've got here
But I can't even live with myself

They're newly wed with classic arguments
Two nights ago they spent their first away from home
Meg held her cigarette, Mike held the door
She had two nickles left to make it back
And she won't forget this night because

I'm trying to live for this moment I've got here
But I can't even live with myself
