Car Trouble Lyrics
Hey, so, it’s a really long story
But I’ve been drivin’ all afternoon (I’ve-)
(Drivin’…)
I’ve been drivin’ all afternoon
But hate to say it, I won’t be there soon
And though I’m late, you know I just can’t wait
To come home to my slice of heaven on toast
But my Grand Prix broke down without fail
Another flat tire and another nail
I miss your smile, but this could take a while
‘Cause this “Road Closed” sign says there’s no way around
No, first, I felt kinda sad
But I said out loud, “You know, this isn’t so bad”
Your photograph on my dash knows it’s true
It might take me forever, but I can’t wait to see you
I’ve been trudgin’ since 2 a.m.
On the side of this highway ’cause back there, when
I patched that flat, I ran on fumes
And that was a bad move ’cause yeah, I ran outta gas
The heavens opened, the rain came down
Now I’m soaked to the bone, but I’m homeward-bound
So I just don’t care how much I have to bear
‘Cause you’ll be there when I walk in through the door
So, down this road, I will run
And only stop to buy you a bouquet for no reason
Hey, it’s kinda crazy what daisies can do
It might take me forever, but I can’t wait to see you
Well, hey, I’d say that the real question is
“Am I unavoidably detained
Or extremely fashionably late?”
There ain’t nothin’ ventured, nothin’ gained
It just really hasn’t been my day
But I’m on my way
Am I unavoidably detained
Or unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?
There ain’t nothin’ ventured, nothin’ gained
It just really, truly hasn’t been my day
But I’m on my way
If I blew in by daybreak, I’d be in luck
I’d hand you a coffee right when you woke up
But my ETA just jumped to MIA
And I’m so lost, my mind is startin’ to stray
Let’s say I fly to Kathmandu
To show the whole world I got a lot to prove
But all I find is all these highways wind
And lead back to my slice of heaven on toast
Oh, would your heart kinda glow
If I held your hand and I promised to stay home?
Hey, when I blow in, that’s the first thing I’ll do
It might take me forever
It might take me forever
But I love you forever, and I can’t wait to see you
Yeah
Whoo!
Hey, I’d say that the real question is
“Am I unavoidably detained
Or extremely fashionably late?”
There ain’t nothin’ ventured, nothin’ gained
It just really, truly hasn’t been my day
But I’m on my way
Am I unavoidably detained
Or unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?
There ain’t nothin’ ventured, nothin’ gained
It just really, truly hasn’t been my day
But I’m on my way, yeah
I’ve been drivin’ all afternoon
But hate to say it, I won’t be there soon
