Lyrics

She tripped on a beer can on the floor
She said "I ain't going through this anymore."
Took his last pack of cigarettes and said
"You owe me this and I'm not finished yet."

"Tell me where do I go from here
I only know that I couldn't go down
Maybe I've realized my fear,
But I've got to be crazy to stay in this town
'Cause the rents overdue,
But there's gas in the Cutlass,
And they don't call it a freeway for nothin'"

He just stood there at the door,
He said, "you've got to get through me if you want more,
Why don't you sit and talk to me?"
She said, "I'm trying," then she screamed...

"Tell me where do I go from here
I only know that I couldn't go down
Maybe I've realized my fear,
But I've got to be crazy to stay in this town
'Cause the rents overdue,
But there's gas in the Cutlass,
And they don't call it a freeway for nothin'"

She said, "I gave you my youth,
I gave you my freedom,
You spent 'em both and now I need them."

"Tell me where do I go from here
I only know that I couldn't go down
Maybe I've realized my fear,
But I've got to be crazy to stay in this town
'Cause the rents overdue,
But there's gas in the Cutlass,
And they don't call it a freeway for nothin'"
