In our headlights①, staring, bleak, beer cans, deer's eyes
On the asphalt underneath, our crushed plans②and my lies
Lonely street signs, power lines③, they keep on flashing, flashing by
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye
Your breath hot upon my cheek, and we crossed, that line
You made me strong when I was feeling weak, and we crossed, that one time
Screaming stop signs④, staring wild eyes, keep on flashing, flashing by
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye
The devil grins from ear to ear⑤ when he sees the hand he's dealt us
Points at your flaming hair, and then we're playing hide and seek
I can't breathe easy here, less our trail's gone cold behind us
Till' in the john mirror⑥ you stare at yourself grown old and weak
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye...
