late goodbye

in our headlights

staring

bleak

beer cans

deer's eyes

on the asphalt underneath

our crushed plans and my lies

lonely street signs

powerlines

they keep on flashing

flashing by

and we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye

such a late goodbye

and we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye

your breath hot upon my cheek

and we crossed

that line

you made me strong when i was feeling weak

and we crossed

that one time

screaming stop signs

staring wild eyes

keep on flashing

flashing by

and we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye

such a late goodbye

and we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye

the devil grins from ear to ear when he sees the hand he's dealt us

points at your flaming hair

and then we're playing hide and seek

i can't breathe easy here

less our trail's gone cold behind us

till' in the john mirror you stare at yourself grown old and weak

and we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye

such a late goodbye.
