TIME TO GO

WELL I DROVE DOWN TO AUSTIN TO FIND ME A WIFE.
I GAVE HER A DIAMOND, THE REST OF MY LIFE.
SHE TOLD ME SHE LOVED ME BUT SHE HAD TO GO.
SO I GOT IN MY CAR AND I DROVE.

I SPOTTED A DINER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
I PULLED IN THE DRIVEWAY THE GRAVEL WAS COLD.
I WALKED TO THE COUNTER AND SAT ON A STOOL.
AND I ORDERED A COFFEE TO GO.

THE WAITRESS WAS PRETTY SHE HAD A NICE SMILE.
SHE TOLD ME THE SPECIALS, I STAYED FOR AWHILE.
I ASKED FOR HER NUMBER, SHE DIDN’T HAVE A PHONE.
SO I LEFT WITH MY COFFEE IN TOW.

I SAW A HITCH HIKER OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR.
SHE SHOWED ME HER THUMB BUT I SAW SO MUCH MORE.
AS I WALKED TO MY CAR, SHE ASKED FOR A RIDE.
WE OPENED THE DOORS, CLIMBED INSIDE.

I ASKED HER HER NAME AND SHE SHOWED ME A GUN.
I GAVE HER MY KEYS AND I STARTED TO RUN.
SHE SPED OFF THE LOT THROWING GRAVEL ALL AROUND.
HER TAIL LIGHTS WERE TRAILING INTO TOWN.

WELL I WALKED OUT OF AUSTIN WITHOUT A WIFE.
I LOST THAT OLD DIAMOND BUT I STILL HAD MY LIFE.
HEADED WEST ON THE HIGHWAY, LOOKING FOR A RIDE.
CALIFORNIA IS ALMOST IN SIGHT.
