Microwave - Kansas lyrics
[Microwave - Kansas lyrics]
That voice told my heart to turn around
My heart, my heart wouldn’t shake
But that voice was so damn persistent
So I disconnected the brakes
And I pushed, I pushed that pedal down
I watched the fuel gauge as it went south
And I pushed, I pushed that pedal down
My engine sputtered and died
Right in front of her house
Her father was stationed overseas
And her mom was buried in the backyard
She didn’t have a future there
She had five gallons of gasoline
She packed her things inside my car
And in the kitchen by the phone
With a felt-tip pen she wrote a note
She said: daddy, I can’t take it
I can't take it, I can't take it anymore
They tell me there’s a world out there
But I just gotta make sure
She turned around and took a last look
And then she shut that beater door
And I pushed that pedal down
That voice told my heart to turn around
But my heart, my heart wouldn’t shake
But that voice was so damn persistent
So I disconnected the brakes
Her father was stationed overseas
And her mom was buried in the backyard
She didn’t have a future there
She had five gallons of gasoline
She packed her things inside my car
My heart, my heart wouldn’t shake
But that voice was so damn persistent
So I disconnected the brakes
And I pushed, I pushed that pedal down
I watched the fuel gauge as it went south
And I pushed, I pushed that pedal down
My engine sputtered and died
Right in front of her house
Her father was stationed overseas
And her mom was buried in the backyard
She didn’t have a future there
She had five gallons of gasoline
She packed her things inside my car
And in the kitchen by the phone
With a felt-tip pen she wrote a note
She said: daddy, I can’t take it
I can't take it, I can't take it anymore
They tell me there’s a world out there
But I just gotta make sure
She turned around and took a last look
And then she shut that beater door
And I pushed that pedal down
That voice told my heart to turn around
But my heart, my heart wouldn’t shake
But that voice was so damn persistent
So I disconnected the brakes
Her father was stationed overseas
And her mom was buried in the backyard
She didn’t have a future there
She had five gallons of gasoline
She packed her things inside my car
