Leaving now
and it's so nice out
i think that i could blind myself
watching the sun go down

play the radio loud
i don't want to go
but i gotta go now
six hours to go
until i show up back home
i pull up to some kind payphone
to hear the sweetest noise come out

i played the radio loud
i don't want to go
but i gotta go now
i heard the sweetest noise come out
from the payphone
i wanna turn around

don't let time take the thrill
while i'm away
cause if you let it take the thrill
this whole thing's a waste

i played the radio loud
i didn't want to go
but to turn around
i heard the sweetest noise come out
from the payphone
but it's such a joke now

i didn't want to go home
but i like my home now
