Time's Inc

Wanna see you in my rearview mirror
Out on the freeway freeway
Nobody said it would be easy
Freeway freeway
Take me back to _______________
I can't change the time and
I can't change your mind
But i gotta find a freeway
You're on my way
On my way

Leeway i need a little leeway
Got to get some space around and ??
Leeway leeway
Make the best of nothing left for me
I can't find the time
Gotta see what i can find
Out on the freeway
You're on my way
On my way

I'm not talking

Someday someday
I ain't waiting around for someday
Someday someday
I'm gonna get away from all this someday
I can't change the time and
I can't change your mind
You're on my way
On my way

Long distance information, ring me 608
Laughing at the other end
Get me my prescription, come and walk my dog
Please get me anything

You can't seal fate with a kick
You should know it doesn't work that way
As for your lofty aspirations
You couldn't give them all away (throw away)

Those precious things that juist don't last (throw away)
Everybody's been cut like broken glass

Long distance information sounds like broken glass

Just how long is all of this really gonna last
Get someone i used to know
In another place of time
Please please me

You've been places i'll never go
Begged the questions i'll never know
You've had so many arms around you
This time you've hit an all-time low

So many things just don't last
So many things like broken glass

Floatin' down the river
With a saturated liver
And i thought i would forgive her
But i do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget it
And i bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning wet and drowned
And the word gets 'round
Goin' down
I'm goin' down

Coming' up for air
It's pretty stuffy under there
I'd like to say i didn't care
But i forgot to leave a note
And it's so hard to stay afloat
I'm soakin' wet without a boat
And i knew i should have taken off my shoes
It's front page news
Goin' down
I'm goin' down

I wish i had another drink
It wouldn't be so hard to sink
I should have taken time to think
Besides i got the picture straight
She must have had another date
I didn't need this extra weight
I wish that i could see the way to shore
Don't want no more
Goin' down
I'm goin' down

And now i see the life i led
I slept it all away in bed
I should have learned to swim instead
And now it's really got me stumped
I can't believe why i jumped
I'd like to get my tummy pumped
I can't believe they drink this stuff in town
This dirty brown
Goin' down
I'm goin' down

I wish i looked before i leaped
I didn't know it was so deep
Been down so far i don't get wet
Haven't touched the bottom yet
This river scene is gettin' old
I'm hungry, sleepy, wet and cold
She told me to forget it nice
I should have taken her advice
I only want to go back home
I'd gladly leave that girl alone
What a way to spend the night
If i don't drown, i'll die of fright
My pappy taught me how to float
But i can't swim a single note
He threw me in to teach me how
I stayed there floatin' like a mama cow
And now i've floated way down stream
I know this has to be a dream
If i could find my way to shore
I'd never, never do this anymore
I'll give you three, i've been down nine
I'm goin' down just one more time.
Goin' down.
I'm goin' down.

Now the sky is gettin' light
And everything will be alright
Think i finally got the knack
Just floatin' here lazy on my back
I never really liked that town
I think i'll ride the river down
Just movin' slow and floatin' free
There's a river swingin' under me.
Waving back to the folks on shore
I should have thought of this before
I'm floatin' on down to new orleans
Goin' to pick up on some swingin' scenes
I know i'll know a better day
I'll go down groovin' all the way
Goin' down
Goin' down
