Following Rita

Following Rita - Train

Made my exit on the turnpike

Saw the stateside toll

And shuffled for some change

I paid a man that talked as if

He knew me

And I could see it in his eyes

He could tell that I was runnin' away

What are you waitin' for

It's just a minute away

Travel light you might just find

Yourself there for the day

What are you waitin' for

It's just a minute away

Stopped to make a call

And picked up Elvis

Elvis James McCabe

A future millionaire

He wrestled with his thoughts out loud

About two girls that he left behind

And said for forty-five dollars

He could help me on my way

And get rich too

What are you waitin' for

It's just a minute away

Travel light you might just find

Yourself there for the day

What are you waitin' for

It's just a minute away

There was talk about after

High school I would get a job

Gig at night and

She would go to some community school

But her father changed jobs

And we cried together

As her plane was flyin' away

Well the phone never was enough

For us to hold on to

Now every mile that I drive away

Gets me closer to you yeah

What are you waitin' for

It's just a minute away

I'm travelin' light you might not

Want me to stay for the day

What am I waitin' for

It's just a mile away

Following Rita

What am I waitin' for

It's just a mile away

Travel light you might just find

Yourself there for the day

What are you waitin' for

It's just a minute away
