"Freeway View" lyrics - JAMES MCMURTRY

I got a room with a freeway view
I'm only home at night
I ain't ever coming back to you
Or then again I might
Or then again I might get lonely
Or then again I might not know my mind

I got a job on a survey crew
Pays enough for me
I ain't ever comin' back to you
Or then again
Or then again we'll see
This time it might just take
This time I just might make it free

[Chorus:]
Can't I keep my hands off you
Can't I keep my hands off you
Can't I keep my hands off you

I got a room with a freeway view
I'm hardly ever home
I ain't ever coming back to you
I'm better off alone
I'd rather keep my frozen heart
I love you but I've chosen darkness

[Chorus]
