Somewhere else to be
The handsome familyI didn’t run screaming down the street
I didn’t drive off jagged cliffs
Or dive in roaring seas
I broke no cage door open
I set no horses free
The day the girl at the drive-thru window
Softly smiled at me
Actually I did nothing
As she handed me a large ice tea
An extra packet of ketchup
A small bag of onion rings
I didn’t even smile back at her
Just pulled into the street
Searching my rear view mirror
To catch her eyes on me
‘Cause there were cars behind me and I had somewhere else to be
Down the street I saw an old man
Eating as he drove
Running over empty cans
Lying in the road
But the billboards near the highway
Were full of singing birds
And the trees were blooming green
In their little squares of dirt
Every dog chained in every yard
Was howling with me
But, I didn’t even smile back at her
I just pulled into the street
‘Cause there were cars behind me and I had somewhere else to be
Eu não correr gritando pela rua
Eu não expulsar falésias recortadas
Ou mergulhar em mares que ruge
Eu quebrei nenhuma porta da gaiola aberta
Eu defini nenhum cavalo livre
O dia em que a menina na janela do drive-thru
Suavemente sorriu para mim
Na verdade eu não fiz nada
Quando ela me deu um grande chá gelado
Um pacote extra de ketchup
Um pequeno saco de anéis de cebola
Eu nem sequer sorrir de volta para ela
Apenas parou na rua
Pesquisando meu espelho retrovisor
Para pegar os olhos em mim
Porque havia carros atrás de mim e eu tinha outro lugar para ser
Descendo a rua, vi um homem velho
Comer enquanto dirigia
Correndo sobre latas vazias
Deitada na estrada
Mas os outdoors perto da auto-estrada
Estava cheio de pássaros cantando
E as árvores estavam florescendo verde
Em seus pequenos quadrados de terra
Cada cão acorrentado em cada jarda
Uivava comigo
Mas, eu nem sequer sorrir de volta para ela
Eu só parou na rua
Porque havia carros atrás de mim e eu tinha outro lugar para ser
