Joyride

Someone stole the Chevy from the driveway
Bet you woulda let it go for free
You said they wouldn't make it to the highway
Let alone to the end of the street
The title still signed under our name
The registration's been out of date for weeks
If the cops didn't already find them
They're probably breaking down as we speak
I think we're better off without it
One day we will laugh about this
Might've left the windows cracked
Might've left the keys on the dash
I'm not even mad about it
We know we're gonna live without it
Wish we took it for a joyride
Before the joy died
I could go and buy a motorcycle
With a sissybar to sit you on the back
But every mile feels like survival
When you're always so afraid you're gonna crash
Be sure that after just a little while
We'll both decide that we should take it back
Pullin' on the throttle with white knuckles
Oh honey we're just not cut out for that
Maybe letting go isn't so bad
I think we're better off without it
One day we will laugh about this
Might've left the windows cracked
Might've left the keys on the dash
I'm not even mad about it
We know we're gonna live without it
Wish we took it for a joyride
Before the joy died
Things were going our way
But they kept going 'til they were gone
I think we're better off without it
One day we will laugh about this
Might've left the windows cracked
Might've left the keys on the dash
I'm not even mad about it
We know we're gonna live without it
Wish we took it for a joyride
Before the joy died
Wish we took it for a joyride
Before the joy died
