Well you can't bring her home to mother
And she's a nightmare in the sack
I know my dinner's on the table there
But I'm never going back
And I'm still stuck on her sister
On the other end of town
Don't call me when the sun comes up
Cause we're still getting down
Sometimes I get so tired
Wonderin where it all went wrong
It's just another flat tire
On another road gone too long
And no picknick
and her daddy's always lookin down his nose
He don't like the choices I have made
Or how I wear my clothes
And I've never seen him smile
When he's speaking about his wife
As long as his shirts all tucked in
Man, everything's all right
Sometimes I get so tired
Wondering where it all went wrong
It's just another flat tire
On another road gone too long
Sometimes I get so tired
Wondering where it all went wrong
It's just another flat tire
On another road gone too long
You know I try
I try, and I try once more
My whole body starts to shake
When I get near that front door
You see these motels suit me perfectly
There are mirrors everywhere
When my baby got to go to work
I lay back and I comb my hair
Sometimes I get so tired
Wondering where it all went wrong
It's just another flat tire
On another road gone too long
