[Verse 1: Leather-lunged female rock singer, belted, leather-lunged, loud]
Two in the morning and my phone lights up
Three little words, come get me, that's enough
Didn't ask him why and I didn't need a map
Keys in the ignition and a jacket on my lap
Coffee from a gas station tastes like a fuse
Four hundred miles of road and nothing to lose
Mile marker ninety and the radio's dead
So I'm singing every song that we sang at sixteen instead

[Chorus: Leather-lunged female rock singer, full band, belted]
Bring the dog, leave the ring
Leave the dishes in the sink and every other thing
Pedal on the floor, I'm coming hard and loud
Bring the dog, leave the ring

[Verse 2: Leather-lunged female rock singer, leather-lunged, harder]
Marisol, you used to laugh like a slamming screen door
Then you laughed a little smaller, then you didn't anymore
He would call you every hour when you went out to the store
Wanted every last receipt and wanted to know what for
Watched you shrink at Christmas and I watched you shrink in June
Watched you check his face before you'd ever pick a tune
So when that text came in I was halfway out the door
Seven years I waited for the night you'd ask for more

[Bridge: Leather-lunged female rock singer, low and gritted, one guitar chugging]
Exit sign at a quarter to six
Kill the radio, roll the window, no tricks
Turn onto your road with my heart in my teeth
Gravel in the tires and the whole world underneath

[Verse 3: Leather-lunged female rock singer, headlights at the mailbox, leather-lunged, full band crashes back]
High beams swing and there you are
Standing by the mailbox, twenty feet from his car
Dog on a leash and two bags at your knees
Zippers worn white like you packed them in the freeze
Said you packed in April and you kept them by the stairs
Checked them every night while he slept up there
Didn't need a rescue, didn't need a sword
Only needed somebody with a car and a road

[Outro: Leather-lunged female rock singer, laughing, belted, guitar rings out and fades]
Ring on the mailbox
Dog in the back
Sun coming up and the road's all ours

[End]
