Todd Snider - Forty Five Miles lyrics

Snider There's a truck turned over on the highway Flares burning out of the snow Freezing rain in the pa**ing lane I got forty five miles to go. Forty five miles, forty five miles That's gonna take me all night Should have known right away that something was wrong When I started thinking things were all right, things were not all right. My old man's sick, my sister's going broke They're closing down my favorite bar I got a smoker's cough and now to top it all off I think I'm gonna wreck my car, I'm gonna wreck my car. They say life goes in phases like seasons I say something about all of them s**s It's as hard to be hot as it is to be cold You're either out of control or you're stuck, you're either out of control or you're stuck. So take whatever road that you want to Careful of the ice and the snow I ain't got time to change my mind I got forty five miles to go. Forty five miles, forty five miles That's gonna take me all night I should have known right away that something was wrong When I started thinking things were all right, things are not all right.
