Nascar
Love's Fast Track: A Tale of Lost Chance
Lyrics
I was looking for the exit
I was searching for an exit
Make my way back down to Texas
Heading back to Texas
When she pulled up in a brand new Lexus
A woman arrived in a new Lexus
Don't know which way next is
Uncertain about the next direction
Oh, hi how you doin'
Greeting, polite inquiry about well-being
I'm sorry if your night was extra gloomy
Apologizing if the evening was melancholic
Yeah I got sum' brewin' on the back of my tailgate
Hinting at something brewing on the back of a pickup truck
Let's party till' it's late
Suggesting a late-night party
It's late
Reinforcing the lateness of the hour
Tell me that you love me but you really don't
Expressing a desire to hear love, even if insincere
Tell me that you'll stay, but you really won't
Expecting promises to stay, though they won't be kept
Yeah it's all in
A general declaration of commitment
She was driving down the street just like Nascar
Describing a woman's fast and reckless driving like a NASCAR race
Driving down the street just like Nascar
Repeating the image of her driving like NASCAR
Now she gone
Emphasizing her departure
Now she gone
Reiterating her absence
I was trying to put her in a shoebox
Attempting to confine her but failing
Had that thing on lock
Previously having control over something
But now she gone
Expressing regret for her departure
And she never coming back home
Confirming that she won't return home
Thought I had her on lock, but I didn't have the key
Believing to have control but lacking the essential key
Thought I had her on lock, but I didn't have the key
Repeating the theme of lacking the key to control
Let me know I have your heart
Asking for confirmation of having her heart
I thought we was gon' make it
Believing in a future together
A chance we was gonna take it
Mentioning a risk they were willing to take
I guess I was wrong
Admitting to being wrong about their chances
She was driving down the street just like Nascar
Repeating the imagery of her fast driving
Driving down the street just like Nascar
Reiterating the comparison to NASCAR
Now she gone
Highlighting her absence again
Now she gone
Emphasizing her permanent departure
I was trying to put her in a shoebox
Trying to control or confine her unsuccessfully
Had that thing on lock
Having had control but losing it
But now she gone
Reiterating the sorrow of her absence
And she never coming back home
Confirming she won't return home
