Old white houses and trees lie on the road
Rusty old signs and splintered fence posts
And gas station suppers are what I've come to know
With a little spare change and a goodnight call home
♪
The burned out streetlights and tires line the side
The hum of this van, it eases my mind
I still haven't grown up, but I think I'll be fine
If I can make it back home for a little sleep tonight
It's all a drug that I can't quit
I try to hold off, oh, but I give in
And I reach for something to live for
Oh, 'cause we're all meant for more
Than this bar or this motel we're in
But this ain't the end

I watch jealous drunks bicker at the bar
They're fighting over girls who were never theirs to start
And old high school flames, they act like best friends
Though they didn't even know my name back then, no
But we'll catch up a bit
'Cause it's all a drug that I can't quit
I try to hold off, oh, but I give in
And I reach for something to live for
Oh, 'cause we're all meant for more
Than this bar or this motel we're in
But this ain't the end
Of my troubles
It ain't the end of my pain
Oh, it's the start of a road
That I chose to take

It's all a drug that I can't quit

Yeah, it's all a drug that I can't quit
I try to hold off, oh, but I give in

Oh, 'cause we're all meant for more
Yeah, we're all meant for more
