I drove right by the freeway on ramp
The freeway on ramp, the freeway on ramp
In an act of desperation
I tried so hard to be patient
To be patient, to be patient
All I need is one more trip to the gas station

I packed everything I own
Everything I own, everything I own
In that big green suitcase
And honestly I thought I was alone
I thought I was alone, I thought I was alone
Until I saw your face

You and I, we paid our tax
And covered our tracks and never turned our backs
And you and I went along those train tracks for miles and miles
And everyone who turned your backs
Never turned our backs
Never turned our backs
Never turned our backs

I packed everything I own
Everything I own, everything I own
Into that big green suitcase
