He tells me of the back roads and how we'll drive them all night long
Where are you tonight?
Where are you tonight?
You promised me that we would be breaking free
Just another lonely country boy grown weary of the night
And the myth will grow about the two who refused to surrender
She can't help but laugh at a life turned so peculiar
When I left you in my dreams last night
He says, "My darling, you're the one I'll drape in sable"
Not knowing if you'll be there to guide me
Where are you tonight?
And the cloud of dust he'll kick up will linger like a song
I think I can make it through all right
But as I catch us in the barroom mirror with his arm around my shoulder
This girl I see has grown so unfamiliar
But his baseball cap and his barroom rap tell me a different story
I don't think I can face tomorrow's light
And where are you tonight?
And as she stands to leave with a stranger by her side
How the days will fade and the moon will hang forever
And where are you tonight?
And he orders wild turkey and with a quick wit and a smile
That this is not my prince to grant all my wishes
Just another boy with a sink full of dirty dishes
