Where the Signs Run Out

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your jacket on the kitchen chair A paper ticket folded in the sleeve I found the map you drew in blue ballpoint With one small X beside the old arcade [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Don’t make a plan, just pick a road” So I took the keys and let the windows roll [Chorus] We’re going where the signs run out Past the last bus turning back to town If tomorrow asks us where we’ve been Tell it we were right here, laughing again We’re going where the signs run out No grand goodbye, no slowing down With your hand out the window, drawing lines We can miss the turn and still be fine [Verse 2] The diner clock was seven minutes slow The waitress knew our order by the sound You stole a sugar packet for the glovebox Said it might come in handy heading south [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Don’t make a plan, just pick a road” And every mile made room to let it go [Chorus] We’re going where the signs run out Past the last bus turning back to town If tomorrow asks us where we’ve been Tell it we were right here, laughing again We’re going where the signs run out No grand goodbye, no slowing down With your hand out the window, drawing lines We can miss the turn and still be fine [Bridge] At the county line, the radio broke You sang the chorus from a song you barely know I watched the fields give way to morning gray And wished the road would keep us one more day [Final Chorus] We’re going where the signs run out Past the last bus turning back to town If tomorrow asks us where we’ve been Tell it we were right here, laughing again We’re going where the signs run out No grand goodbye, no slowing down With your hand out the window, drawing lines We can miss the turn and still be fine [Outro] We can miss the turn and still be fine
