someone stole the Chevy from the driveway

You said they wouldn't make it to the highway

Let alone to the end of the street

The title still signed under our name

The registration's been out of date for weeks

If the cops didn't already find them

They're probably breaking down as we speak

I think we're better off without it

One day we will laugh about this

Might've left the windows cracked

Might've left the keys on the dash

I'm not even mad about it

We know we're gonna live without it

Before the joy died

I could go and buy a motorcycle
F#m D
With a sissybar to sit you on the back

But every mile feels like survival

When you're always so afraid you're gonna crash
A A/G#
Be sure that after just a little while
F#m D
We'll both decide that we should take it back
Bm

Pullin' on the throttle with white knuckles

Oh honey we're just not cut out for that

Maybe letting go isn't so bad
[Chorus]

Wish we took it for a joyride

Before the joy died

Before the joy died
