Lyrics

Two dollar color pictures from a photo booth
Dirty stepped on lying out on the floor of their room
Faces fell long in the half light
He looks all wrong but that’s her alright
Look at him smiling full of teeth
Clenched tight
He knew the one time with the army captain
He got one that whole deal before it happened
Said its okay i knew exactly what you meant
When you said you were an accident
But when it’s 3am he wonders where in the hell she went
And he’ll drive all over town
Drive all over town
And he’ll drive all over town
Drive all over town
Until he tracks her down
He’ll drive all over town
