"This is the one you take",
said the man at the bus stop
"just give a minute and i'll tell you when it runs"
i said "hey mister, i dont have that much time, i told my girl i'd be heading home tonight"
home tonight
I drop in a nickel and two dimes,
i'm making my last call tonight
the busy signal at least lets me know your home
so i hang up on the sending end,
receiving end, ya you won't know when
my bags are tagged, they say im heading home
I'm takin the long ride home tonight
thinking of you and how i'll hold you tight
I'm takin the long ride home tonight
and i put my heart on the wheels of acadian lines
tonight...
take my seat and fix my eyes
out to the world thats passing by
the window's cold and i breathe on
to write your name
falling asleep now as my finger streaks the "Y"
and when i get up
the night has passed me by
I'm takin the long ride home tonight
thinking of you and how i'll hold you tight
I'm takin the long ride home tonight
and i put my heart on the wheels of acadian lines
tonight...
the summer's color changing sky
shines it's light on the exit signs
1 and 2 (12) or 3 (13) is what im looking for
familiar pictures in my ming
play themselves back to life
the time in your room
when you swore it would be ok
it would be ok....
