He was glued to the T.V.
|
When she asked him for the keys
|
Said, "I'm going to the market
|
Is there anything you need?"
|
The first quarter was underway
|
He never missed a play
|
|
She pulled out of the driveway
|
Took a left at the light
|
Didn't stop at the market
|
She just drove right on by
|
Across the railroad tracks
|
She never once looked back
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
She went out for cigarettes
|
And just kept driving on
|
He didn't even know it yet
|
Bur she's gone
|
As far away as she can get
|
Passed the point of no regret
|
She went out for cigarettes
|
And just kept driving on
|
|
Half time is over
|
The sun is sinking low
|
It's almost time for supper
|
But there is nothing on the stove
|
He looks up from his easy chair
|
He just noticed she's not there
|
|
She made a stop at the bank
|
Took out some cash
|
Now she's racing down the highway
|
On a full tank of gas
|
As fast as she can go
|
To where she does not know
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
She went out for cigarettes
|
And drove on
|
