Lyrics
I walked up
To you in the student parking lot
You looked up
Cracked a smile, said, "Hey," and shut your book
In old jeans you slid off the rusted hood of your old Ford
And called me by my dumb fifth grade nickname
You asked if I was ready to rock tonight
But I paused noticing the fresh bruise your scarf couldn't quite cover up
So we got drunk
At Tommy Henson's party later on
By one o'clock
I was finally drunk enough to bring it up
You looked down and said, "Come on, Mouse. Please, not this again"
Cigarette in hand on the back porch
I stood up and said, "You're goddamned right, it's this again"
"If your dad layed his hands on you, this time I will not be cool"
Come on Amy, come on we could
Run away tonight
We'll start over someplace else,
Someplace he'll never find
We'll head south, hit Interstate 80
From there, wherever you like
East or west, hey, California
I hear the weather's nice
At first you said nothing at all, then laughed and said,
"You're very sweet but you're very drunk, let's head back in so I can catch up"
So I let it drop
As the fall air cooled into the winter months
You seemed fine
And as time went by I honestly forgot
Snow covered our brown and gray small town in blankets of soft white
As school and social lives took all our time
Vapor trails in the sky and parties on Friday nights
I don't recall seeing you then without a smile on your face
'Til I woke up
To my ringtone song piercing the dark
Picking it up
I saw the time was well past four o'clock
Your shakey thin voice on the line shocked me out of bed
"Amy, where the hell are you, what's wrong?"
You said, "Mouse, please don't freak out, it's fine"
"Please just come and pick me up, I can't go back home tonight"
Well the worry must have been all over my face as I pulled up
'Cause you gave me a hug as you climbed in the passenger side and said, "I'm fine"
You managed a sad smile and I looked you in the eye and said
"Please don't laugh me off this time"
Come on Amy, come on we could
Run away tonight
We'll start over someplace else,
Someplace he'll never find
We'll head south, hit Interstate 80
From there, wherever you like
To my surprise you looked back at me
With anger in your eyes
What makes you think I can just
Just run away tonight?
Leave my mom with him? Are you crazy?
You must be out of your mind
And what'll we find down Interstate 80?
More sh** towns this one's just like?
Sorry to mess up your whole fantasy here
But I just wanna sleep tonight
Ah ah ah, etc...
