20 Miles Down The Highway
We gotta make the time to escape the grind
We’re way too stressed babe we gotta unwind
C’mon give yourself a break
And let’s head on out to the lake

We're grown-ass adults y’know we get results
But I'm sick and tired of all these damn insults
I won't work like a heartless machine
We gotta get ourselves out of this scene

You know we've done all that we can do
It's time to smile and just cut loose
Gonna swim out in the sun
And get wild like we were young

We got a place to stay at our hideaway
Where we can laugh and everything's OK
cmon let's go out and play
And we can waste away the day
20 miles down the highway

And we were dancing in the moonlight
And she smiled at me and it was All Right
I swear I could have died so happy that night
I could have died so happy that night!

But a ufo came and they took her away
Yeah the aliens came and took her away
They just beamed her up and now there’s hell to pay
The aliens came and they beamed her away

But I could still see the ship so bright
It quickly flashed all of its alien lights
And I screamed just as it started to rise
It flew away right in front of my eyes

I hopped in her truck and I sped down to town
To tell everyone what had just gone down
What the hell was I gonna say?
A UFO came and took her away

I went to the cops and they laughed at me
Told me I was high on conspiracies
What the hell was I gonna do?
She’s on Mars for all I knew
Just a beautiful girl in an alien zoo

I called my Dad and he was like
Calm down Son you ain't thinking right
She must be playing a joke on you
Here’s exactly what you‘re gonna do

Go back to the lake and get some sleep
She'll get bored and want a bite to eat
You can act like you don’t even care
Act like you were never even scared

Hours went by and the sun rose
And sure enough I began to doze
What she went through no one will know
Just another case for the tv shows

Y’know I did all that I could do
She was gone and I was on the news
I think about her everyday
Her family thinks she ran away

I still go out to our hideaway
And once in a while I’ll look up and say
I hope you’re not in an alien zoo
And I’ll be here just waiting on you

20 miles down the highway
20 miles down the highway
20 miles down the highway
