lyrics

MILE DOWN THE ROAD

Something's causing a flicker in my driver's side headlamp
Something's making an awful sound -- sounds like a broken Marshall amp
Something's in my transmission sounds like an electrocuted toad
And something's just a mile down the road

Chorus:
A mile down the road, oh, a mile down the road
It'll all be better just a mile down the road
Gonna pull this car right over gonna see my love unload
When I pull up to your porch just a mile down the road

Something's in my battery makes the truck feel like it's on acid
Something's cracked the windshield makes me feel like asking Fionn
Something's in my bloodstream and I think it rhymes with "frisky"
And something's just a mile down the road

Chorus:
A mile down the road, oh, a mile down the road
It'll all be better just a mile down the road
Gonna pull this car right over gonna see my love unload
When I pull up to your porch just a mile down the road

Something's between you and me as hard as a jersey wall
Something's in the way, my dear, I'm seeing double yellow lines and all
Something's in my rear-view mirror flashing red-and-blue flash lights
Looks like I might be spending the night in the county jail tonight

Chorus:
A mile down the road, oh, a mile down the road
It'll all be better just a mile down the road
Gonna pull this car right over gonna see my love unload
When I pull up to your porch just a mile down the road
