lyrics

The car is dead
The tall man said
We’ll find another way to Tulsa

The sky’s not blue
But what’s it to you
The road’s brought nothing good, just torture

My wristband sags
While I grip my bags
The red dust blows into my portion

Painted red
I hold my head
We never should have left La Fortune

(chorus)
“It’ll be so fun!”, she said
“We can make good time, I swear”
Just hours later we broke down

Our phones, no bars
Just a thumb and passing cars
Dancing shoes on endless road

My ringing ears
Frustrated tears
The jokes all ended round one thirty

Spent my last dime
On a liquid good time
And now I’m walking, cold and dirty

(chorus)
“It’ll be so fun!”, she said
“We’ll be home ‘fore dawn, I swear”
Then the car slowed to a crawl

Dashboard lights
Like a Christmas tree at night
Without the joy, no none at all

(outro)
The car is dead he said
And I just want to be home
The sun is too big to ignore

Oklahoma’s like
A million miles away
I don’t think we'll be friends no more
