Good As Gone

I’m in my car
Going 80 on a 50 road
It’s just me alone, tonight
All my friends are dressed
In their finest clothes
I’m in a T-shirt though, tonight
Rehearse the words
Say them over and over in my head
That I don’t care
Driving fast no destination
But in my imagination
I’m over there

They’re all headed to the ball
But I’m headed anywhere
Yeah, I’m on my own
But I’m better off without their stares
Watch me hit 100
As the world comes swinging
I’m ready for the fall
For the showdown
Place your bets
Dancing all alone
Just the road and my silhouette
Windows down on the highway
My favorite song singing
I’m moving along
All my cares
As good as gone

My hands dance with the wind
Just like in the movies
All the lights are green tonight
Nothing but open road
Right in front of me
Yeah I’m feeling free tonight
Forcing smiles they’ve finessed
And their dresses are all a mess
How can they take it?
I’d rather go a million miles
Than to ever fake a smile
Or be complacent

They’re all headed to the ball
But I’m headed anywhere
Yeah, I’m on my own
But I’m better off without their stares
Watch me hit 100
As the world comes swinging
I’m ready for the fall
For the showdown
Place your bets
Dancing all alone
Just the road and my silhouette
Windows down on the highway
My favorite song singing
I’m moving along
All my cares
As good as gone
