Intro
Verse 1
Carol Likes The Way The Light Looks
When Its Heating Up The Dash
Playing Poker In The Evenings
She Says We Could Use The Extra Cash
And I’m Glad We Skipped The Winter
Things Were Starting To Feel Small
It’s Not The Same When They Don’t Need Ya
It’s Not The Same At All
Chorus
I’m Sorry That I Wrecked Our Car
Was Hoping That You Wouldn’t Notice
But The Road Is Strewn With Playing Cards
Looks Like They’re Gonna Have To Tow It
And I Think I’ve Broken Both My Arms
The Road Is Closed In Both Directions
There Must Have Been Some Kind Of God
Looking In The Rear View Mirror
Verse 2
You Never Know Quite When Your Time’s Up
I Always Thought It’d Be That Storm
That Ripped The Salt Bush From The Red Dirt
And Pulled The Hinges From The Doors
And How We Got Between Two Road Trains
To Protect Us From The Wind
How Them Drivers Kept Us Steady
So We Made It Out The Other End
Chorus
Now I’m Sorry That I Wrecked Our Car
Was Hoping That You Wouldn’t Notice
But The Road Is Strewn With Playing Cards
Looks Like They’re Gonna Have To Tow It
And I Think I’ve Broken Both My Arms
The Road Is Closed In Both Directions
There Must Have Been Some Kind Of God
Looking In The Rear View Mirror
Verse 3
Turn Both Lanes Into A Runway
Rest Both Shoulders On The Earth
Carol, Don’t You Think They’re Being Dramatic?
They’re Gonna Fly Me All The Way To Perth
And The Satellite Won’t Reach Ya
But I’m Hoping That You Know
All This Open Road’s Not Worth It
If We Don’t Get To Make It Home
Chorus
I’m Sorry That I Wrecked Our Car
Was Hoping That You Wouldn’t Notice
But The Road Is Strewn With Playing Cards
Looks Like They’re Gonna Have To Tow It
And I Think I’ve Broken Both My Arms
The Road Is Closed In Both Directions
There Must Have Been Some Kind Of God
Who Gets To Say Who Needs Protecting
Must Have Been Some Kind Of God
Looking In The Rear View Mirror
