Versuri Going Once

 
going once 
going twice 
sold to the girl  
who ignored all the good advice 
of all the people who knew better 
she just stood there 
on the front porch 
waiting for her will to come and get her 
 
she was packed 
she had a suitcase 
full of noble intentions 
she had a map 
and a staight face 
hell bent on reinvention 
and she was ready for the lonely 
she was in it for it only 
 
going once 
going twice 
down the road less taken 
through the coffee 
and the wd40 
and the swiss army knife 
and the beer 
there was always someone there to say 
why don't you just stay 
and hang your hat here 
 
but she was packed 
she had a suitcase 
full of fumbles and near misses 
she was swinging through a jungle 
of last calls and first kisses 
and she was learning 
about please 
about hugh humilities 
 
and then one day she looked around her 
and everything up till then was showing 
and she wondered how did i get here 
without even knowing where i was going 
and now there's no getting out of this 
and there's no going back 
and it all seems so odd sometimes 
and the odds all seemed stacked 
 
going once, going twice 
sold to the girl 
who ignored all the advice 
of all the people who knew better 
she just stood there 
on the front porch 
waiting for her will 
to come and get her 
 
she was packed 
she ahd a suitcase 
she had a map 
and a straight face 
she was ready 
for the lonely 
she was in it for 
it only
