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 driving 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 driving on
Half time is over
the sun is sinking low
it's almost time for supper
but there's nothing 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 racing
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 driving 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 driving on
She went out
for cigarettes
and drove on
