He’s still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck
And he’s still wearing that red and black jersey
Waiting for the band to start up
He’s still showing up twenty late, finding hearts and rules …
You know I’m gonna hit it on the radio

You don’t owe me
one more minute of your wasted time
you act like it’s all fine1
but all the years I gave you
thinking you knew that you wanted me
I wanted to believe2
I’ve gotta make a destination3
find where I’ll be loved4
This time I’ve got no hesitation
and I’ll be movin’ on5
(to where I belong)
and I’ll be movin’ on
I’m tired of trying
to describe what you will never see
how that we could be6
gave up and lost her7
now you’re looking for a little grace
well look at my face8
I’ve gotta make a destination
find where I’ll be loved
This time I’ve got no hesitation
and I’ll be movin’ on
(to where I belong)
and I’ll be movin’ on
empty corner gotta keep movin’
taking hits while you’ve been missing
night after night after I hear you9
say we’re solid
but I know we’re looking through the cracks
in our little patch10
it isn’t hard to leave
knowing that I’ll be getting life on track
never looking back11
I’ve gotta make a destination
find where I’ll be loved
This time I’ve got no hesitation
and I’ll be movin’ on
(to where I belong)
and I’ll be movin’ on
(find where I’ll be loved)
I’m already gone12
