Passed a burned out sign for Somerville
Did not slow
Just checked the gauge
Empty seat and a cooler rattling
Same old song
Another page
Bug glass
Coffee stains on the console
Map folded where your knees used to be
Every mile puts a little more gravel
In the low voice talking back to me
Motel coffee at mile two oh nine
Tastes like yesterday
Feels like old wine
I was young once
I was loud
I was fine
Now I drive
I remember
I rewind
Yeah
I drive
I remember
I rewind
Stopped to stretch by a shuttered station
Sun going soft on the hood
Thought of Dad and his Sunday lectures
How he did the best he could
Got a voicemail from my oldest daughter
She sounds older every time
Says she is learning how to shift her own gears
Says she is doing all right
I say
I am fine
Motel coffee at mile two oh nine
Tastes like yesterday
Feels like old wine
I was young once
I was wrong
Felt right
Now I drive
I untangle the lines
Yeah
I drive
I untangle the lines
Funny how the white lines
Tell the same tired joke
You leave
You change
You circle back
To the things you never spoke
I am not chasing some grand redemption
Just a place to park this rain
A room key
A shower
A flickering channel
And a softer way to say my name
Motel coffee at mile two oh nine
Tastes like compromise
Bittersweet time
I was young once
I was yours
You were mine
Now I drive
I forgive
I get by
Yeah
I drive
I forgive
I get by
