Green Light Lyrics

I had my eyes fixed to the road when she asked me

Can I take the wheel?

I thought if this girl doesn't kill me she's gonna show me how living feels

I was holding my head upright, lips tight

Right foot heavy on the brakes at a green light

Horns sounding, head pounding

Oh stop staring at me

Swear I had somewhere to be, tonight, right?

I had somewhere to be, tonight

She messed with my mirrors

And took a quick look at her face

I felt way too poor and sober to be getting chauffeured to her place

When the night was over

And all my cigarettes were gone

I flew like a pigeon in the desert

On the lonely drive back home

I was holding my head upright, lips tight

Right foot heavy on the brakes at a green light

Horns sounding, head pounding

Oh this sure ain't like me

Swear I had somewhere to be, tonight, right?

I had somewhere to be, tonight

Don't make me surrender

Not today 'cause I'm finally on my way

To keeping my hungry ghosts at bay

Now you're giving them a say

I'm usually open to a change, but today

I stayed holding my head upright, lips tight

Right foot heavy on the brakes at a green light

Horns sounding, head pounding

Oh this sure ain't like me

Swear I had somewhere to be, tonight
