Just three miles from the rest stop

And she slams on the breaks

She said I tried to be but I'm not

And could you please collect your things

I don't wanna be cold

I don't wanna be cruel

But I gotta find more

Than what's happening with you

If you'd - open up the door



She said - while you were sleeping

I was listening to the radio

And wondering what you're dreaming when

It came to mind that I didn't care

So I thought - hell if it's over

I had better end it quick

Or I could lose my nerve

Are you listening - can you hear me

Have you forgotten



Just three miles from the rest stop

And my mouth's too dry to rage

The light was shining from the radio

I could barely see her face

But she knew all the words that I never had said

She knew the crumpled-up promise of this

Broken down man - and as I opened up the door
