Car Trouble

[Intro]
Hey, so it's a really long story
But I've been drivin' all afternoon
(I-I-I-I-I've)
(Drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin')

[Verse 1]
I've been drivin' all afternoon
But I hate to say it, I won't be there soon
And though I'm late, you know I just can't wait
To come home to my slice of heaven on toast
But my Grand Prix broke down without fail
Another flat tire and another nail
I miss your smile but this could take a while
'Cause this "Road Closed" sign says there's no way around

[Chorus]
No, first I felt kinda sad but I said out loud
"You know, this isn't so bad?"
Your photograph on my dash knows it's true
It might take me forever, but I can't wait to see you

[Verse 2]
I've been trudgin' since 2 AM
On the side of this highway, 'cause back there when
I patched that flat, I ran on fumes
And that was a bad move 'cause yeah, I ran out of gas
The heavens opened, the rain came down
Now I'm soaked to the bone, but I'm homeward bound
So I just don't care how much I have to bear
'Cause you'll be there when I walk in through the door

[Chorus]
So down this road I will run and only stop to buy you
A bouquet for no reason
Hey, it's kinda crazy what daisies can do
It might take me forever, but I can't wait to see you

[Bridge]
Well hey, I'd say that the real question is
Am I unavoidably detained
Or extremely fashionably late?
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
It just really hasn't been my day
But, I'm on my way
Am I unavoidably detained
Or just unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
It just really, truly, hasn't been my day
But I'm on my way

[Verse 3]
If I blew in by daybreak, I'd be in luck
I'd hand you a coffee right when you woke up
But my ETA just jumped to MIA
And I'm so lost, my mind is startin' to stray
Let's say I fly to Kathmandu
To show the whole world I got a lot to prove
But all I find is all these highways wind
And lead back to my slice of heaven on toast

[Chorus]
Oh, would your heart kinda glow if I held your hand
And I promised to stay home?
Hey, when I blow in that's the first thing I'll do
It might take me forever
It might take me forever
But I love you forever, and I can't wait to see you

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah

[Bridge]
Woo! Hey, I'd say that the real question is
Am I unavoidably detained
Or extremely fashionably late?
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
It just really, truly, hasn't been my day
But, I'm on my way

Am I unavoidably detained
Or just unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
It just really, truly, hasn't been my day
But, I'm on my way, yeah

[Outro]
I've been drivin' all afternoon
But I hate to say it, I won't be there soon
