off the main drag

leif vollebekk

old gas station hasn't changed in decades

cashier checks the time around her

put my things on the counter

pull out my wallet like some pull down the shades

my only brother lent me his only car

who knew i would drive it so far

sometimes you move out of some obligations

it was gorgeous on the outside

inside it was just a machine

it was the fastest thing i've ever seen

i first met victoria at victoria station

we'd always talked about going for a beer

she said

it's strange now that you're here."
