作词 : Sparks, Sparks

  I didn't wrap my head in roses
  I didn't run screaming down the street
  I didn't drive off jagged cliffs
  Or dive in roaring seas
  
  I broke no cage door open
  I set no horses free
  The day the girl at the drive-thru window
  Softly smiled at me
  
  Actually, I did nothing
  As she handed me a large ice tea
  An extra packet of ketchup
  A small bag of onion rings
  
  I didn't even smile back at her
  I just pulled into the street
  Searching my rear view mirror
  To catch her eyes on me
  
  'Cause there were cars behind me
  And I had somewhere else to be
  
  Down the street I saw an old man
  Eating as he drove
  Running over empty cans
  Lying in the road
  
  But the billboards near the highway
  Were full of singing birds
  And all the trees were blooming green
  In their little squares of dirt
  
  Every dog chained in every yard
  Was howling with me
  But I didn't even smile back at her
  I just pulled into the street
  
  'Cause there were cars behind me
  And I had somewhere else to be
