I was once in love with her   And I swore that it would last   I could not stand to hang around   When I saw that it was past      I turned my radio on, packed the car with all I owned   I drove into the long dark night   Sayin' I don't know where I'm goin', don't know what I'm doin   But I know I'm not goin' back      I got friends still hangin' around   Wonderin' what they're gonna do   They are still in the old college town   Drinkin' in the old bar room      With the video on, spendin' every thing they own   Drinkin' in the long dark night   Well, I don't know where I'm goin', don't know what I'm doin'   But I know I'm not goin' back      I have a friend who moved to California   He says I wouldn't call it home   I have a friend who moved to Boston   She says I wouldn't call it home   And I've been five years in New York City   But I would not call it home      I got the radio on, cussin' every thing I own   Dreamin' in the long dark night   Got the radio, got the radio on   I got the radio on, got the radio, got the radio on
