You get in your car and drive so far,
That the lies become the lines that are
The only thing keeping your mind on your side of the road
I'm thinking you know the name, by now,
Of the faces you're starting to strain, and how
This running game doesn't become its own reward

But I'll hear you out,
I'll even try to mouth some consolation
If you can stick around
You can sit in with my band that's playing
Your favorite blues
Oh, we'll try to renew you
Cuz I really don't want you to lose
Your last bad habit

You're saying that you wanna stay there,
But you always get scared, and then
You tend to hesitate
They say fortune favors the bold
Because they always know when to go,
But you've got horses that just can't wait to clear the gate

But I'll hear you out,
I'll even try to mouth some consolation
If you can stick around
You can sit in with my band that's playing
Your favorite blues
Oh, we'll try to renew you
Cuz I really don't want you to lose
Your last bad habit
