Road Regrets - Dan Mangan

We drive until the gas is gone

And then walk until our feet are torn

Crawl until we feed the soil

Film the whole thing

It’s all business in the left-hand lane

Drive there and then drive back again

Escape can’t be the only way

To escape

So I’ve gotten used to coffee sweats

Still getting used to road regrets

And hell I took you up on all your threats

To leave

It’s a shame

It’s a crying shame

Them’s the breaks

And ain’t it always the way

That takes you back to from where it is you came

And Robbie likes his country tunes

It’s never been the lens that I see through

But I guess driving for a week or two

Puts words in your mouth

So find dodge and then get out of it It’s about as country as I get

So you ain’t living 'til you’re living it Not dead 'til you die

But watch out for the paraphrase

'Cause they will crown you and they will take your legs

See the gas is more than what you get paid

But do it anyway

It’s a shame

It’s a crying shame

Them’s the breaks

And ain’t it always the way

That takes you back to from where it is you came

It’s a shame

It’s a crying shame

Them’s the breaks

And ain’t it always the way

It takes you back to from where it is you came
