He was glued to the T.V.

When she asked him for the keys

Said, "I'm going to the market

Is there anything you need?"

The first quarter was underway

He never missed a play



She pulled out of the driveway

Took a left at the light

Didn't stop at the market

She just drove right on by

Across the railroad tracks

She never once looked back



She went out for cigarettes

And just kept driving on

He didn't even know it yet

Bur she's gone

As far away as she can get

Passed the point of no regret

She went out for cigarettes

And just kept driving on



Half time is over

The sun is sinking low

It's almost time for supper

But there is nothing on the stove

He looks up from his easy chair

He just noticed she's not there



She made a stop at the bank

Took out some cash

Now she's racing down the highway

On a full tank of gas

As fast as she can go

To where she does not know



She went out for cigarettes

And just kept driving on

He didn't even know it yet

Bur she's gone

As far away as she can get

Passed the point of no regret

She went out for cigarettes

And just kept driving on



She went out for cigarettes

And drove on
