Daydreamin', we were out till the mornin' light
Not a care in the world, I couldn't even pick a fight
But I'm out here on the interstate in Tennessee
Wonderin' what the hell ever happened to you and me
I'm gonna have to find me another way home
'Cause I'm out in the open, now my cover's blown
Got a heavy load, I'm comin' up to the crossroads
It's blocked, it's all I've got

You don't see me in my prime
Everywhere, all the time
You just stroll right by the exit sign
There's no reason, there's no rhyme
That's what makes it such a crime
When you just drive by (just drive by)
Drive by the exit sign

(Drive by the exit sign)
(Drive by the exit sign)

I see you in my mind all the time
Maybe somewhere down the line, we'll be fine
Got a heavy load, I'm comin' up to the crossroads
Of life, ain't got no wife

You don't see me in my prime
Everywhere, all the time
You just stroll right by the exit sign
There's no reason, there's no rhyme
That's what makes it such a crime
When you just drive by (just drive by)
Drive by the exit sign

(Drive by the exit sign)
(Drive by the exit sign)

Got a heavy load comin' up to the crossroads
(Which way to turn?) Which way to turn?
(Will I ever learn?) Will I ever learn?

You don't see me in my prime
Everywhere, all the time
You just stroll right by the exit sign
There's no reason, there's no rhyme
That's what makes it such a crime
When you just drive by (Just drive by)
Drive by the exit sign

(Drive by the exit sign)
Drive by the exit sign, baby (drive by the exit sign)
Drive by, baby (drive by the exit sign)
Drive by the exit sign (drive by the exit sign)
Drive by the exit sign
