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
