Know exactly it is you are
She takes amphetamines
In the early of the morning
While her husband and her children
Are still snoring
And she hopes for something better
But she hasn't got it yet
She's forty-eight years old
There ain't a damn thing that she don’t regret
She dropped out of school
And she never went back
She married awful young
Had two sons after that
She’s dreamed of living big and driving fancy new cars
Travelling all the world
Everybody would know who she was
Hey!
That won't get you far
People think your happy
But you got nothing at all
Just get in your car
And drive until you know who exactly it is you are
He came back from the war
With a busted up leg
But nothing could compare
To the mess up in his head
And he travelled town to town
Try to fix his old heart
Hiding all his pain
By drinking the devil's cure
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Not a day over eighteen
And she could hardly breathe
Choking on the innocents
Of every boy she sees
And all she wants to do is to smile and be proud
But instead of looking inside
She looks for a
She looks for a way out
Hey!
Hey!
That won't get you far
People think your happy
But you got nothing at all
Just get in your car
And drive until you know who exactly it is you are
That won't get you far
People think your happy
But you got nothing at all
Just get in your car
And drive until you know who exactly it is you are
