Interstate

When I first heard your voice, I knew
When I first saw your face, boyfriend who?
I got in the car outside the bar and never looked back
She likes to tell a lie to me like that

And she said, pick me up around the corner
Show me how they do it in Virginia
All this love I have to give, and I haven’t done a thing
I couldn’t tell you
How long it’s been

Millions of bottles are making these hills shine
Jettison from car windows one at a time
She’s holding my hand and i’m driving through state lines
‘73 AMC, starts every time

And I’ll say, pick me up around the corner,
Show me how they do it in Ventura
I can see that California sun, heavy on that far western horizon
How quickly things can change

Now the sun is rising, bright blue
Poetry reprising, but I don’t want to wake you
Breaking spells is oh, so easy to do
Just a few more towns until we’re brand new

And she said, pick me up around the corner,
Show me how they do it in Virginia,
All this love I have to give and I haven’t done a thing,
I couldn’t tell you
How long
How long
How long
It’s been
