Verse:
He had a fight with his wife about the bills
He started drinking and she's thinking he's taking pills
She's had his baby and it's making him question himself
Maybe the baby would be better with somebody else

He's in his car and he's already driving
He's still alive, but he's barely surviving
Beyond the tears, oh, the night is so dark
And he's a young man, and life is so hard

Chorus:
Straightaway, straightaway
I'm on a straightaway, straightaway
Straightaway, straightaway
Just wanna get away, get away

Verse:
The only car on this part of the road tonight
His head is spinning and his heart has gone cold inside
A hundred twenty and his foot is pushed to the floor
He's holding steady, but he doesn't know quite what for

He's in his car and he's already driving
He's still alive, but he's barely surviving
Beyond the tears, oh, the night is dark
And he's a young man, and life is so hard

(Chorus)

He shuts his eyes and pulls his hands from the wheel
For seven seconds, he forgets how to feel
And in his mind he sees the smile of his son
And then he wonders how he ever could have tried to run

He's in his car and he's already driving
Back to the place that he left behind him
And even though it's a long and lonely road
There's only one place a man can call his home
