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 doesn't even know it yet But 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
