lyrics
Three more miles and we’ll be there
but my gas gauge reads on empty.
Fumes in the tank makes our car spit
it’s looking slim from here.
Somebody turned the street signs around
I think we’re driving in circles.
There’s bullet holes through every sign
to welcome us to this town.
Hey ho, three more miles,
hey ho, might as well be three thousand.
Hey ho, where do you go
when you’re driving an unmarked road?
The houses have all turned to trees
and the tar has turned to gravel,
and the gravel is paved with muddy holes
and I’m hitting every one.
You’ve been staring at that map
but it just won’t talk back
and we’ve driven beyond the lines and the arrows
that get us from here to there.
Hey ho, three more miles,
hey ho, might as well be three thousand.
Hey ho, where do you go
when you’re driving an unmarked road?
We were warned but we didn’t know
just what they meant when they said it could get hard and slow.
Do you see those clouds moving in low
and the wind’s picked up to a steady moan.
I think i’ll turn the headlights on
cuz it’s getting dark and cold.
A flash of lightning to the east
then the rain slams our windshield hard and mean.
The brakes won’t grip the wipers just groan,
I think it’s time to bail.
Hey ho, three more miles,
hey ho, might as well be three thousand.
Hey ho, where do you go
when you’re driving an unmarked road?
but my gas gauge reads on empty.
Fumes in the tank makes our car spit
it’s looking slim from here.
Somebody turned the street signs around
I think we’re driving in circles.
There’s bullet holes through every sign
to welcome us to this town.
Hey ho, three more miles,
hey ho, might as well be three thousand.
Hey ho, where do you go
when you’re driving an unmarked road?
The houses have all turned to trees
and the tar has turned to gravel,
and the gravel is paved with muddy holes
and I’m hitting every one.
You’ve been staring at that map
but it just won’t talk back
and we’ve driven beyond the lines and the arrows
that get us from here to there.
Hey ho, three more miles,
hey ho, might as well be three thousand.
Hey ho, where do you go
when you’re driving an unmarked road?
We were warned but we didn’t know
just what they meant when they said it could get hard and slow.
Do you see those clouds moving in low
and the wind’s picked up to a steady moan.
I think i’ll turn the headlights on
cuz it’s getting dark and cold.
A flash of lightning to the east
then the rain slams our windshield hard and mean.
The brakes won’t grip the wipers just groan,
I think it’s time to bail.
Hey ho, three more miles,
hey ho, might as well be three thousand.
Hey ho, where do you go
when you’re driving an unmarked road?
