Lyrics

Everybody's lonely and every one's an outlaw
Everybody says, "how you been?"
Uncle Bill is crazy, and Mother's in the parlor
Wiping all the mustard off his chin

And you got away
Funny how it seems to work that way
Out on the road with your hair in the wind (singing)

Chorus:
Oh, how I miss you tonight

He sits there sipping sherry while talking on a cell phone
He's so damn self assured, it makes you sick
So why not tip the waiter & topple his credenza
Or biff him with a long heavy stick

It's your life to live
And his heart is just like a sieve
Get out of this house and run for the hills (singing)

Chorus

Bridge:
And when the carnivores are gnawing at your bones
And all the patience in the world won't bring him home
Don't waste another minute, drive on back to me

Now the architects are fanning each other by the curbside
A driver passing by just blows his horn
The slamming of the door shakes the house to its foundation
You wonder how this whole damn thing was born

And you're safe again
I gotta say I always knew you'd win
Join me on the road with our hair in the wind (singing)

Oh I'll be with you tonight
