About an Hour Ago Songtext
von O.A.R.

There was a man on the road ′bout an hour ago
He went looking for a ride to New Mexico
We'd been driving by, way too fast to know

We got to the place on a high-speed chase
I seen my girlie in the corner with a plastic face
And then she disappeared without a trace
I say, without a trace

Now we′re up sittin' back, sippin' some beers
There′s a man telling stories about his inner fears
We was all choked up, too close to tears

So, I′m movin' on up to a couple of margaritas
I made a couple faces at a couple senoritas
Playing drinking games but she too young to be with me

So now, my car broke down ′bout an (hour ago)
We were headed on down to New (Mexico)
Well, we did not see that the gas was low
Hey, yeah, the gas was low


The gas was low, the gas so low, so low
I lost my soul somewhere on the road
But I'm a get it back real soon
Mike, would you get it back for me?

I′ve been chasin' footsteps for years
Been runnin′ around in circles for years
Chasin' my tail, lookin' for answers to questions
I′ve never heard

It′s a wide open world, I'm tryna find it in
It′s a wide open sky, but it's light and blinding
And it′s raining down on me
It's slowin′ me down, but I keep on goin'

I know I recognize this man walking in front of me
When he turned around and locked eyes with me
And it scared me to see myself in 20 years
Lost, ashamed, locked up, loaded down and sure to try

I didn't know it that I could change my ways
And I took a different road
No more runnin′ around in circles, no more chasin′ my tail
I'm just going forward these days with my eyes closed

I know I can make it, fuck it, I know I can make it if I try
I must let love live inside me for a while
And maybe, later on, I′ll see you all after the show


I heard this story down here about an hour ago
Oh, I know, I know it
I am a different man, different than I was
I'm gonna find my way home, gonna find my way home
