We took the freeway out of town |
|
We found a place to settle down |
|
We bought a driveway and a swingset and a dog |
|
You got your very own bathroom |
|
I got my very own workshop in the basement |
|
We'll sit around staring at the wall-to-wall |
|
Take fieldtrips to our favorite mall |
|
Waiting for the day when all |
|
The kids grow up and leave us here |
|
If you need me |
|
I'll be downstairs |
|
With the Shop Vac |
|
You can call but I probably won't hear you |
|
Because it's loud with the Shop Vac on |
|
But you'll be okay |
|
'Cause you'll be upstairs |
|
with the TV |
|
You can cry and I probably won't hear you |
|
Because it's loud with the Shop Vac on |
|
We hung a flag above the door |
|
Checked out the gourmet grocery store |
|
I bought a mower I can ride around the yard |
|
But we haven't got real friends |
|
And now even the fake ones have stopped calling |
|
Maybe if you forget to hide the keys |
|
I'll take a ride to Applebee's |
|
I'll come home drunk on daiquiris |
|
And throw up on the neighbor's lawn |
|
If you need me |
|
I'll be downstairs |
|
With the Shop Vac |
|
You can call but I probably won't hear you |
|
Because it's loud with the Shop Vac on |
|
But you'll be okay |
|
'Cause you'll be upstairs |
|
With the TV |
|
You can cry and I probably won't hear you |
|
Because it's loud with the Shop Vac on |
|
I like the Starbucks here |
|
That's better than the other one |
|
Because the other one's not as good |
|
They really need to put a light there because it's hard to turn |
|
It's hard to make a left turn |
|
And when it's time to go to bed |
|
I'm still awake inside my head |
|
Floating up above the house and looking down |
|
I guess I gotta go back there |
|
I guess there never was any other answer |
|
And as the freeway hums the cars go by |
|
The headlights roll across the sky |
|
Many miles away and I |
|
Can see them speeding through the dark |
|
If you need me |
|
I'll be downstairs |
|
With the Shop Vac |
|
You can call but I probably won't hear you |
|
Because it's loud with the Shop Vac on |
|
But you'll be okay |
|
'Cause you'll be upstairs |
|
With the TV |
|
You can cry and I probably won't hear you |
|
Because it's loud with the Shop Vac on |
