Hey, so it's a really long story
But I've been drivin' all afternoon
(I-I-I-I-I've)
(Drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin')

I've been drivin' all afternoon
But I hate to say it, I won't be there soon
And though I'm late, you know I just can't wait
To come home to my slice of heaven on toast
But my Grand Prix broke down without fail
Another flat tire and another nail
I miss your smile but this could take a while
'Cause this "Road Closed" sign
says there's no way around

No, first I felt kinda sad but I said out loud
"You know, this isn't so bad?"
Your photograph on my dash knows it's true
It might take me forever
But I can't wait to see you

I've been trudgin' since 2 AM
On the side of this highway, 'cause back there when
I patched that flat, I ran on fumes
And that was a bad move 'cause yeah, I ran out of gas
The heavens opened, the rain came down
Now I'm soaked to the bone
But I'm homeward bound
So I just don't care
how much I have to bear
'Cause you'll be there when I walk in through the door

So down this road I will run
and only stop to buy you
A bouquet for no reason
Hey, it's kinda crazy what daisies can do
It might take me forever
But I can't wait to see you

Well hey, I'd say that the real question is
Am I unavoidably detained
Or extremely fashionably late?
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
It just really hasn't been my day
But, I'm on my way
Am I unavoidably detained
Or just unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
It just really, truly, hasn't been my day
But I'm on my way

If I blew in by daybreak, I'd be in luck
I'd hand you a coffee right when you woke up
But my ETA just jumped to MIA
And I'm so lost
my mind is startin' to stray
Let's say I fly to Kathmandu
To show the whole world I got a lot to prove
But all I find is all these highways wind
And lead back to my slice of heaven on toast

Oh, would your heart kinda glow if I held your hand
And I promised to stay home?
Hey, when I blow in that's the first thing I'll do
It might take me forever
It might take me forever
But I love you forever, and I can't wait to see you

Yeah

Woo! Hey, I'd say that the real question is
Am I unavoidably detained
Or extremely fashionably late?
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
It just really, truly, hasn't been my day
But, I'm on my way

Am I unavoidably detained
Or just unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
It just really, truly, hasn't been my day
But, I'm on my way, yeah

I've been drivin' all afternoon
But I hate to say it, I won't be there soon
