Driving you the new girl
In my brand new Chevrolet
To the three mile marker overlook
Above Santa Fe
And right on cue you look into my eyes
And tell me I look really great tonight
One mile gone
And we do seem to have a repartee
Or is this just a game
You know how to play
Let's stop all this making small talk
About superficial stuff
The bottom line
I'm looking for a woman I can trust
At the three mile marker
Gonna make my mind up
Either way I'll be OK
This time it's up to me
And baby that's enough
We're just about to reach
The three mile marker
So you tell me you're a restless spirit
And that you withdraw
When you think a man is asking you
To stay with him too long
Well I used to be the guy
Who would want to change your mind
Now I've learned
I know those words are more like danger signs
At the three mile marker
Gonna make my mind up
Either way I'll be OK
This time it's up to me
And baby that' s enough
Well I'm sorry
Excuse me
But I'm a man determined
To see if you might be the love of my life
If it's all wrong
I won't hold on so long
No I'll be long gone
Ever slower
The rotation of my Chevy's wheels
The sound of flying gravel
And I've got to go with what I feel
So I've pulled up to this truck stop
It's time for you to catch a ride
And I'm not sorry, baby
Got to go
Take care
Have a good life
At the three mile marker
Gonna make my mind up
Either way I'll be OK this time
At the three mile marker
Gonna make my mind up
Either way I'll be OK
This time it's up to me
And baby that' s enough
We're just about to reach
The three mile marker
