I started young with my foot against the pedal, baby
I say goodbye to every fool I've known
I'll blow it out on a spread of highway, baby
You don't want to see my fall
I didn't think so at all

You started out looking small inside the mirror, baby
I left behind a debt I'll never pay
We started out with the ending drawing nearer, baby

You know that I've got wandering eyes
And wandering eyes don't see
You know that I've got wandering eyes
And wandering eyes don't recognize
Everything you see when you look into my eyes

I'm leaving now with my finger on the trigger, baby
I'm leaving now, walking backwards into night
You can smoke your cigarette
And pretend it's ever after, baby
But you don't want to see me fall
Didn't think so at all
