It would take them about an hour to realize I wasn't coming home from work My father left me a truck and a full tank of gas My house is two miles in a near straight line But there are three highways 350 feet away and I could go 25 to 90 in seconds Home must be hundreds of miles away Because it's late but the street lamps look seductive How easily I could leave it all behind How hard it would be for anyone to tell which way I went I turned left at the stoplight House is a mile away in a straight line Home is drowning in road signs and streetlights behind me But it promises ressurect when I lose faith again tomorrow.
