in our headlights, staring, bleak, beer cans, deer's eyes

on the asphalt underneath, our crushed plans and my lies

lonely street signs, powerlines, they keep on flashing, flashing by



and we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye

and we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye



your breath hot upon my cheeck, and we crossed, that line

you made me strong when I was feeling weak, and we crossed, that one time

screaming stop signs, staring wild eyes, keep on flashing, flashing by



and we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye

and we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye



the devil grins from ear to ear when he sees the hand he's dealt us

points at your flaming hair, and then we're playing hide and seek

I can't breathe easy here, less our trail's gone cold behind us

till' in the john mirror you stare at yourself grown old and weak



and we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye...
