Part 1: Road Runner (The Ex Husband)

lyrics

I hope you felt the wind in your hair
Your life all loaded up in my old car
I hope you felt the weight leave your mind
Running from where you’re from
To a home you hoped you’d find

And these days it seems all that I can do

Is stare at these walls you painted blue
I hope you got where you were going to

I hope you didn’t have to go too far

I hope you found a new family out there

After watching your old one self destruct

I hope all your prayers are answered soon

A higher power not in a prescription

Not in a needle or a spoon


And these days I sit staring at the wall

Where you left your magazine dreams
I hope you got to see those mountains in the fall
I hope you didn’t have to go too far



And I feel like that old cartoon coyote

Run right off the edge of a cliff

Standing there in space
He knows he’d already done what he did

I feel like I’m stuck in that moment
Staring at your trembling, swollen lip

I am neither standing nor falling hard

But knowing that I’d gone too far
Oh why do I aways go too far

And these days I think about how you got away

As if there were no walls around this town

I wish it were that easy for me babe
I hope you didn't have to go too far
