Lyrics
As sleepy night gives way to early light
That's the heartbreak hill of marathon driving
Highway lines swerve, focus blurs, all five senses colliding
Exhaustion drowns, roll the window down
Oh the sweet slap of fresh air
I've crossed five state lines and it dawns on me,
"There's no more snow out there!"
My baby wouldn't have me - drove from Toronto to Miami
Because nothing better came to mind
Was it something I said or something that she read
That had me cruising on down that line
From highway hypnosis to South Beach psychosis
I squint into the midday sun
"24 hours what a feat," I say to your empty seat and man, don't I feel dumb
I mutter my mantra, "I'd be better off without ya"
But the idea just won't adhere
The waitress winks and sets down espresso # 3 and says,
"What brings you 'round here?"
I tell her,
Baby wouldn't have me, drove from Toronto to Miami
'Cause nothin' better came to mind
Was it something I said, or something she read
Had me cruising on down that line
What I've learned is that no matter how fast or far
North, South, East West, wherever I look, there you are
Have to swallow my pride pick up that phone, accept that there's no choice
Stubbornness is dissipating with every ring anticipating, then I hear your sweet voice
I say
Baby if you'll have me, I drive Toronto from Miami
'Cause you're the only one that came to mind
Was it something I said, or something you read
That had me cruising on down this line
Baby wouldn't have me, drove Toronto to Miami
'Cause nothin' better came to mind
Was it something I said, or something she read
Had me cruising on down that line
From high
