closing the door on the past, divorcing it
didn’t need a rear view mirror ‘cause I wasn’t looking
today seemed as good a time as any, before I changed my mind
lost my nerve, talked myself out of it
putting it all behind me, folding it up and throwing it out the window
on the dirty pavement letting it blow into a ditch where it belongs
happy I was to get away
didn’t have the slightest idea where I was going or what I was going to do
once I got there but I didn’t care
no turning back now, no regrets
stopped at a cheap steakhouse for a meal of gristle
it was raining big dogs when I came out
newfoundlands, great danes, a german shepherd for good measure
people were huddled under the eaves waiting for it to stop
I just started out walking to the car, I was free now
I wasn’t made of sugar, I wouldn’t melt
didn’t care if I got wet or struck by lightning for that matter
was drenched when I got in the car with a smile on my face
rain splattering on the windshield
I’m free! I’m free!
now…where to go, where to go, what to do?
