Somewhere Else To Be

I didn't wrap my head in roses
 I didn't run screaming down the street
 I didn't drive off jagged cliffs
 Or dive in roaring seas
 I broke no cage door open
 I set no horses free
 The day the girl at the drive-thru window
 Softly smiled at me
 Actually I did nothing
 As she handed me a large ice tea
 An extra packet of ketchup
 A small bag of onion rings
 I didn't even smile back at her
 Just pulled into the street
 Searching my rear view mirror
 To catch her eyes on me
 'Cause there were cars behind me and I had somewhere else to be
 Down the street I saw an old man
 Eating as he drove
 Running over empty cans
 Lying in the road
 But the billboards near the highway
 Were full of singing birds
 And the trees were blooming green
 In their little squares of dirt
 Every dog chained in every yard
 Was howling with me
 But, I didn't even smile back at her
 I just pulled into the street
 'Cause there were cars behind me and I had somewhere else to be
