Somewhere Else to Be Lyrics

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
Pre-horus
Actually I did nothing
as she handed me a large iced tea
an extra packet of ketchup
a small bag of onion rings
horus
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
horus
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
