[Singer A] I was twelve in my daddy’s truck Windows down, summer heat Sun dropping low past the county line Dust rolling underneath I said, “Come on, one more town” He just smiled and took it slow Said, “Ain’t no prize for gettin’ there tonight Save some road for tomorrow” [Transition] [Singer B] Check-engine light’s been on since June Coffee stain on the passenger seat Radio only works when it wants to Kinda got that in common with me Guy at the shop takes one look at it Says, “Man, you gotta get that fixed” I look down at the dash, then back at him Like, “Wait… you mean this?” [Transition] [Singer A] Save some road for tomorrow You don’t gotta drive it all tonight Ain’t no prize for gettin’ there first Morning’s gonna come just fine Back then I thought he meant that highway And how far we had to go Save some road for tomorrow That’s all I needed to know [Transition] [Singer B] What, this? You call that broken? What, this? I didn’t even notice Still starts up Still gets me home What else do I need? What, this? Don’t look broken to me [Transition] [Singer A] My boy grabbed my keys last Friday Said, “Dad, I gotta get this done” Same look I wore at twenty-two Like tomorrow might not come I tossed him the keys “Ain’t no prize, son Save some road for tomorrow” “Yeah, Dad, I know” “No, you don’t Neither did I” [Transition] [Singer B] Pulled in late with the window down Same old rattle underneath Neighbor says, “That thing still running?” I said, “Apparently.” Keys on the counter, boots by the door Tomorrow can wait till three I catch my face in that cracked phone screen Looks alright to me [Final Transition] [Singer A] Save some road for tomorrow You don’t gotta drive it all tonight Ain’t no prize for gettin’ there first Morning’s gonna come just fine He pulled away, I watched his taillights Till the red was almost gone Save some road for tomorrow Save some road for tomorrow [Singer B] Nah. Don’t look broken to me.
