Remember when we'd diagnose the strangers

Walking to their cars

You'd pretend the blonde girl was a stripper

And the boys would call her star

I'd watch you with a goofy smile

Just tryin' to keep up

Still have that same smile tattooed on my face

When I try to call you up

To sing you "Hey there Delilah"

I thought it was your favorite song

I shoulda known You didn't like it

You've never sang along

In retrospect I think that it was

A a bit too the nose

I just liked singin' songs that made me feel

That I'm not so alone

Why would I

Drive across across the USA

I can't stop

Thinking about the day

With that sad look upon your face

When I first told you I was leaving from the place

I wish you would have begged me to stay

Oh oh oh

Remember when we saw that same blonde girl,

Your stripper from afar

She was in the background of that musical

But she'll always be our Star

That night we talked about our future

In the McDonald's parking lot

I let it slip that I was leaving

And then I asked you what you thought

You said that I should give LA a try

You were always my biggest fan

I packed my bags into my Kia soul

Never one for making plans

When I looked back I hoped you'd stop me

But instead you held back tears

It's not the failure that I'm scared of

Losing you's my biggest fear

So why would I

Drive across the USA

I can't stop

Thinking about the day

With that sad look upon your face

When I first told you I was leaving from the place

I wish you would have begged me to stay

Oh oh oh

I wonder what it was that made me wanna drive so far

I can't forget the night we saw that blonde girl Star

So imma pack my bags again and then jump in the car

Oh oh oh

I wonder what it was that made me wanna drive so far

I can't forget the night we saw that blonde girl Star

So imma pack my bags again and then jump in the car

Oh oh oh

I wonder what it was that made me wanna drive so far

I can't forget the night we saw that blonde girl Star

So imma pack my bags again and then jump in the car

Oh oh oh

I wonder what it was that made me wanna drive so far

I can't forget the night we saw that blonde girl Star

So imma pack my bags again and then jump in the car

Oh oh oh

I can't wait

To drive across the USA

I've been dreaming bout this day

Lose that sad look upon your face

I'd rather be with you than bum it in LA

You'll never have to beg me to stay
