Smell of jet fuel on the highway
Here at dusk, the roadway shines
Doesn't feel a bit like flying
Sitting stuck here in this line
Don't know who keeps us trailing
But this much I do know
No one in a happy marriage
Would be driving home that slow
I would go faster if I could
I would go faster if I could
The sunset doesn't move me
Soon I'm half an hour behind
And those taillights staring back at me
Slowly burn into my mind
One of these mornings she might realize
That when all is said and done
I am another than she thought I was
And she does not like either one
I would go faster if I could
I would go faster if I could
Why is it the drive away
Always seems shorter than the drive home?
I would go faster if I could
I would go faster if I could
I would go faster if I could
I would go faster if I could
