The open highway road, takes me way back home. The older man with his apple tree, the dog upon the lawn. I heard my papa call he said i'm waiting down the line, don't forget your sun hat boy and I wont forget mine. I saw my friends down town, they hadn't changed that much, still go by their high school names JC and The Fox. I couldn't wait just to tell you, I'm on my own, and I'm alright. If she makes me wait till the morning, Then I'll be gone, yeah I'll be gone. But honey is it alright, if I see you tonight. I'll give you all that I have to give my love. Will you be mine, Yeah will you be mine. We sat beneath the sun, and talked of when we were so young. Thought of all the things we'd change and all the things we've done. I got to got to go, she said as she whispered in my ear. I'm looking for just an open door, one to keep her near. I couldn't wait just to tell you, I'm on my own, and I'm alright. If she makes me wait till the morning, Then I'll be gone, yeah I'll be gone. But honey is it alright, if I see you tonight. I'll give you all that I have to give my love. I'll give you all that I have to give my love. I couldn't wait just to tell you, I couldn't wait just to tell you, I'm leaving town tomorrow I'll be gone.

That thing that makes you feel, That certain kind of way, That apple in your eye that gets your through yours day. Hold on to what you got, don't think its not a lot. When i was seventeen, my teacher told me so, dont give it up so soon or your never gonna know. I tried for so damn long, and I found she wasn't wrong. Chorus All I know, is I've been waiting on the last train for too long, All I know, is just a little bit of love can bring you back home. I found my love and I'm home. Verse 2 Im knocking on your door, Im throwing rocks and stones, i wanna give you more but your not that kind of girl. I tried to change my luck, but i think you've had enough. Chorus All I know, is I've been waiting on the last train for too long, All I know, is just a little bit of love can bring you back home. Outro/middle 8 From what your father said, Yeah you should see your doctor, Your changing your colour. But babe tomorrow you'll be feeling fine.

I read the books all upon your shelf, I kept your secrets all to myself. I wonder what in the midnight hour, just what you get up to. We went to town you were shotgun honey, yeah that's the way it's always been. There was that guy with his ice cream smile, I thought he was laughing at you. Ohh my baby's gone away. Ohh my baby's gone away, she's gone away. And now all my love is gone. I gave it to the farm. Two drinks at an old mates new place, puts a smile on my face. I cab home just to get to you baby, pick up a rose on the way. We stayed up all night sippin' on your moonshine, yeah we waiting for the dawn. You held my hand and I think it was your plan, to leave when I say please dont. Ohh my baby's gone away. Ohh my baby's gone away, she's gone away. And now all my love is gone. I gave it to the farm. I swear that you are, I swear that you are.

Baby why you messin' with me, I tried to tell you twice that my name ain't Steve. We're gonna meet with Suzie Q, She's got a new corvette but there's no room for you. Lighting up the fire in your eyes. Riding on the thunder through the night. If only I could see, I wasn't meant to leave. We're half way up the sunshine coast, Dylan and The Boss it's all Rock & Roll. We're running out of time to spare, take the wheel and steer yeah we're almost there. Lighting up the fire in your eyes. Riding on the thunder through the night. If only I could see, I wasn't meant to leave. She wants Rock & Roll. On and on the time will take you.
5.
I took the high road, i slaved away I climbed every set of stairs that day. You were the punch line, i was the joke We fought about it but i still had hope. She took me back when i was, down on my knees. she slept around so I had to leave. I wanted you, more then you wanted me. Oh baby cant you see.... We're perfect for, each other. Ill come at dawn yeah we'll hit the coast, We'll go everywhere we always wanted to go, we'll park the car and watch the sun fade away and ill say everything i always wanted to say. I be all like, Oh dont you know, why I would go. And oh cant you see, tick tock cant stop running through my mind, i was wrong.... But so were you, so were you.
