Lyrics

VERSE
I guess I could have texted or sent her an email
But I didn’t want to leave, oh, a written trail
I thought it would be better to say it to her face
But she’s leavin’ town; I need to get right to her place

PRE-CHORUS
Now what’s that expression ― stuff happens?

CHORUS
Have you ever been driving down the Interstate
And missed your exit; too much on your mind?
Damn it, she’s gone; I was a little bit too late
I missed my exit from the one I must leave behind

VERSE
So what’s the big hurry? She’ll be back pretty soon
It's because I have a date, oh, this very afternoon
I don’t want to two-time or in any way mislead
Wish I hadn’t missed my exit in this hour of need

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
You know, I don’t really think it will shock her
Truth is, I’m not sure she cares that much
No matter, I want to take the right exit; you know what I mean?

Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Oh, well, it’s on the way to where I’m going…
