It's getting on
I've done this all before
Hotel to motel
Motel means all alone

I sense a recurrence
It's happening again
So let's do it one more time
Before we go to hell

Grab the keys
Start the car
Take me home
To where my records are

Hit the gas
Take the open road
I'm turning on the stereo
First thing when I get home

Time's moving on
I haven't slept for days
It's eating me up inside
Inside I've slipped away

I know it's getting closer
I feel I'm almost there
Still one more time can't hurt me
But I won't shed a tear

Grab the keys
Start the car
Take me home
To where my records are

Hit the gas
Take the open road
I'm turning on the stereo
First thing when I get home

The time has come
Been waiting for so long
It's written on my face
My face has turned to stone

Not asking for your sympathy
I just want out of here
So scratch the day off the month
And say the coast is clear

Grab the keys
Start the car
Take me home
To where my records are

Hit the gas
Take the open road
I'm turning on the stereo
First thing when I get home

Grab the keys
Start the car
Take me home
To where my records are

Hit the gas
Take the open road
I've had enough
Now take me home
