I-89 Lyrics

[Chorus: Aoife O'Donovan & Sarah Jarosz]
If there was another way out I'd take it
If there was another way down I'd go
If there was another way other than the highway
Show me on a map, point out the road

[Verse 1: O'Donovan]
Waitin' for the sight of headlights flashin'
Fussing with the dial on the radio
Burning through the pages of the Rand McNally
Fire in my belly gonna keep you warm

[Chorus: O'Donovan & Jarosz]
If there was another way out I'd take it
If there was another way down I'd go
If there was another way other than the highway
Show me on a map, point out the road

[Bridge: O'Donovan]
Everybody wants a piece of me
Everybody wants to see what I see
Everybody wants a piece of me
Yeah, everybody wants to see what I see
But I can't just give it to you

[Verse 2: O'Donovan]
I'm sick of this routine baby
Shake yourself out of your drowsy sleep
Leaving you the keys on the kitchen counter
Aren't you getting tired of the passenger seat

[Verse 3: O'Donovan & Jarosz/O'Donovan]
Take a minute to remember, baby
Think of my hand pressing on your back
When you said you hoped no one would ever love me
I'll never forgive you

[Chorus: O'Donovan & Jarosz]
If there was another way out I'd take it
If there was another way down I'd go
If there was another way other than the highway
Show me on a map, point out the road

[Outro: O'Donovan/O'Donovan & Jarosz]
Everybody wants a piece of me
Everybody wants to see what I see
But I can't just give it to you like that

Say you want a piece of me
Say you want to see what I see
But I can't just give it to you like that

Everybody wants a piece of me
Everybody wants to see what I see
But I can't just give it to you like that
