HE WAS GLUED
TO THE T. V.
WHEN SHE ASKED HIM
FOR THE KEYS
SAID I'M GOING
TO THE MARKET
IS THERE ANYTHING
YOU NEED
THE FIRST QUARTER
WAS UNDERWAY
HE NEVER MISSED
A PLAY
SHE PULLED OUT
OF THE DRIVEWAY
TOOK A LEFT
AT THE LIGHT
DIDN'T STOP
AT THE MARKET
SHE JUST DROVE
RIGHT ON BY
ACROSS THE RAILROAD
TRACKS
SHE NEVER ONCE
LOOKED BACK
SHE WENT OUT FOR
CIGARETTES
AND JUST KEPT
DRIVIN' ON
HE DOESN'T EVEN
KNOW IT YET
BUT SHE'S GONE
AS FAR AWAY
AS SHE CAN GET
PAST THE POINT OF
NO REGRET
SHE WENT OUT
FOR CIGARETTES
AND JUST KEPT
DRIVIN' ON
HALF-TIME IS OVER
THE SUN IS SINKIN' LOW
IT'S ALMOST TIME
FOR SUPPER
BUT THERE'S NOTHIN'
ON THE STOVE
HE LOOKS UP
FROM HIS EASY CHAIR
HE JUST NOTICED
SHE'S NOT THERE
SHE MADE A STOP
AT THE BANK
TOOK OUT SOME CASH
NOW SHE'S RACIN'
DOWN THE HIGHWAY
ON A FULL TANK OF GAS
AS FAST AS SHE CAN GO
TO WHERE
SHE DOESN'T KNOW
SHE WENT OUT
FOR CIGARETTES
AND JUST KEPT
DRIVIN' ON
HE DOESN'T EVEN
KNOW IT YET
BUT SHE'S GONE
AS FAR AWAY
AS SHE CAN GET
PAST THE POINT OF
NO REGRET
SHE WENT OUT
FOR CIGARETTES
AND JUST KEPT
DRIVIN' ON
SHE WENT OUT
FOR CIGARETTES
AND DROVE ON
