tonight I watched cars drive by…goin’ somewhere…maybe to a Wednesday night church service…movie theater…takin’ their kid to an emergency room with a broken arm…all these cars goin’ somewhere…

maybe they’re headin’ outta town…movin’ far far away from here…dad lost his job…a couple calls it quits…boy runnin’ away from home…Florida on a vacation…suitcases packed…

and they got their headlights on…some with just one…tail-lights busted out on a couple…drivin’ through stop signs…a muffler needs replaced…most of ’em just hum along…drivin’ down an empty street…porchlights come on…watchin’ cars…

wish I had a car…
