Made my exit on the turn pike
|
I saw the stateside toll and shuffled for some change
|
I paid a man that talked as if he knew me
|
And I could see it in his eyes
|
He could tell that I was running away
|
What are you waiting for
|
It's just a minute away
|
Travel light you might just
|
Find yourself there for the day
|
What are you waiting for
|
It's just a minute away

Stopped to make a call and picked up Elvis
|
Elvis James McCabe a future millionaire
|
He wrestled with his thoughts out loud
|
About two girls that he had left behind
|
And said for forty five dollars
|
He could help me on my way and get rich too
|
|
There was talk about after high school
|
I would get a job
|
Gig at night and she would go to some
|
Community school
|
But her father changed jobs
|
And we cried together
|
As her plane was flying away
|
Well the phone never was enough
|
For us to hold on to
|
Now every mile that I drive away
|
Get's me closer to you, yeah
|
