I was gonna leave this morning Just a little after 9 Things didn't go according to the plan That I layed out in my mind I let go of some things That I held dear to me So I could turned them into gasoline And I walked them down my street So I slept in my car in a parking lot not far From the place that I called home And I woke up with the dawn and I turned the engine on And I kept driving along Mum and Dad moved back to England I guess Virginia did them wrong There ain't nothing me or my sisters can say to them That's gonna help them get along So now that house is empty Filled with people I don't know So I drove right past the exit I used to take That used to lead me home So I slept in my car in a parking lot not far From the place that I called home And I woke up with the dawn and I turned the engine on And I kept driving along So I'll find the place where the local drunks go And I'll sit at the bar on my own I'll drink whatever they pour for me so I can get some sleep And I'll find the place where the local drunks go And I'll sit at the bar on my own I'll drink whatever they pour for me so I can get some sleep So I slept in my car in a parking lot not far From the place that I called home And I woke up with the dawn and I turned the engine on And I kept driving along Oh, I kept driving on Down the 81 South
