Locked my keys in the car last night Payphone was broke so I hitchhiked a half hour home So I thumbed a ride out in front of the bar Ex-marine in a muscle car talked on and on I called a wrecker then I called you You said take a deep breath
Cause every now and then The road dead-ends You gotta lose to win Even though it hurts Every now and then
I pulled a pillow off of my bed Sat on the floor watched the war go off inside my head I remember you saying early that day "You can't blame yourself," as I walked away So I called my buddies, like I got a choice And told 'em with pain in my voice
Every now and then The road dead-ends You gotta lose to win Even though it hurts Every now and then
Kiss me baby, I'm dreaming ... everything's fine And that's just what I had in mind
