Green Lights and Gasoline

You live to work

And you bring your business home

So certain of your burden that you'd rather be alone

A martyr to the marrow

Stoike and heroic to the bone

You studied close

All those books beside your bed

But so much more important are the one you never read

Was each new page an outrage?

Biting like a bullet in your head

And now you cry about the reasons why you started years ago

You've never left to say for it and even less to show

So it seems to me you really aught to know by now

It might just not work out

'Cause oh yeah

Don't you know not only love can break your heart

I'm telling you the truth

I'll find you somewhere in between

The green lights and the gasoline

You've got a mind

It beats you black and blue

Love went blind

Just trying to keep an eye on you

And all those silly little things that you didn't want to do

So now you lay in wait to say to everybody who comes along

You can have my body but my hearts long gone

I've shed a tear too many for a day too long

Oh I love ya

So let me prove you wrong

'Cause oh yeah

Don't you know not only love can break your heart

I'm telling you the truth

I'll find you somewhere in between

The green lights and the gasoline

And I love the way you talk

About getting in your car

And kicking in the pedals 'till you don't know where you are

Insiting that the distances

Will drive you lover from your arms

And if the road turns my way then babe I may come back to you

One of these longs days I'll be rolling down the track

And I won't knock, I won't phone

'Cause you may not be alone

But I will sit on your step 'till you get home

Singing oh yeah

Don't you know not only love can break your heart

I'm telling you the truth

I'll find you somewhere in between
