This track came out as the immediate emotional vomit to an incredibly hard to stomach phone call

lyrics

i won't be long
i won't be long some day
It's on the way
Can we just stop the drive for the night?

In the car
I'm just gonna buy some cigarettes
I'll be back in a minute
Fill the gas
You know we only got half a tank
How far do you think we can make it?

Wait for me
Endlessly
i won't be long
i won't be long
Wait for me
Endlessly
i won't be long
i won't be long

Odds are long
Odds are long let's take our chances
Two for one
We can't pass a deal like that when you're a winner

In the car
I'm just gonna buy some lotto tickets
I'll be back with two
Wipe the windshield
You know we can't see a thing
Where do you think we're headed?

Wait for me
Endlessly
i won't be long
i won't be long
Wait for me
Endlessly
i won't be long
i won't be long

Move along
Move along there's nothing to see here
Two dead
A head on strike like lightning

In the car
I'm just gonna pry you out of here
You'll be back in a bit
Ma'am you've won
You know he's gone
Grab your lotto ticket
Cause I know that you can make it

Wait for me
Endlessly
i won't be long
i won't be long
Wait for me
Endlessly
i won't be long
i won't be long
Wait for me
Endlessly
i won't be long
i won't be long
i won't be long
i won't be long
