45 Miles

There's a truck turned over on the highway
 Flares burning out of the snow
 Freezing rain in the passing lane
 I got forty five miles to go
 Forty five miles
 Forty five miles
 Man that's gonna take all night
 I should have known right away that something was wrong
 When I started thinking things were all right
 Things were not all right
 My old man's sick, my sister's going broke
 They're closing down my favorite bar
 I got a smoker's cough and now to top it all off
 I think I'm gonna wreck my car
 I'm gonna wreck my car
 They say life goes in stages like seasons
 I say something about all of them sucks
 It's as hard to be hot as it is to be cold
 You're either out of control or you're stuck
 You're either out of control
 Or you're stuck
 So take whatever road that you want to
 Careful of the ice and the snow
 I ain't got time to change my mind
 I got forty five miles to go
 Forty five miles
 Forty five miles
 Man that's gonna take all night
 I should have known right away that something was wrong
 when I started thinking things were all right
 Things are not all right
