Diner sat quiet off the interstate Like it had been waiting, just watching me wait Bell on the door let out a tired chime Waitress glanced up, said "You made it this time." Didn’t ask what she meant, just poured me a glass Hand on my shoulder like we had a past Chorus 1 "Nine ain’t a number, it’s a door swung wide Once you step through, you’re stuck inside." "Some roads twist, some roads lie One brought you here, but none say goodbye." Verse 2 Clock on the wall had no hands, no ticks Guy in the corner stirred his drink with a stick Heard my own name like a half-told joke Said "Figured you'd get here before you even spoke." Checked my pockets, found a key I don’t own Jukebox played a song I wrote years ago Didn’t put it there, didn’t sing along But I knew every word like I’d been here all along Chorus 2 "Nine ain’t a number, it’s a door swung wide Once you step through, you’re stuck inside." "Some roads twist, some roads lie One brought you here, but none say goodbye." Verse 3 Left a few bills on the countertop Waitress wiped it clean before they dropped Said "You’ll be back, just like before." Didn’t ask what she meant, I already knew more Back on the highway, tried to shake it off Gas gauge full, but the miles won’t drop Taillights blinked in my rearview twice Same car, same plates, same roll of the dice Bridge Radio crackled, voice cut through "Turn back now, or you’re seeing this through." Flipped the dial, but the station stayed Some preacher whisperin’, "You’re too late." Outro Headlights ahead, a car just like mine Same dents, same mirror cracked on the side Driver looked over, face just like me I hit the brakes The road kept going The gas gauge dropped The radio played my voice
