One Less Rat

Diana Wallis, Lori Winship c.1999

Passed some cars on the road last night
like my life they're rolling by
I can't so busy making a living, I forget to make a life
So many times I try to see, but now there's something in my eye.
Life's a little colder and I'm a little older but thanks I'll be just fine.

There's room for one more on the interstate
Someone else can have my place
Cause I'm stayin home, hangin up the phone
There's one less rat in the race.

I woke up this morning in a room bathed in light
Working wasn't an option, I was ready to take flight
I heard the water calling; I gave in without a fight
I'm going fishin instead of just wishin
It's good to be alive.

There's room for one more on the interstate
Someone else can have my place
Cause I'm stayin home, hangin up the phone
There's one less rat in the race.

I need a break today, I can't wait to get away,
Got to make some time to clear my mind.

There's room for one more on the interstate
Someone else can have my place
Cause I'm stayin home, hangin up the phone
There's one less rat in the race. There"s one last rat in the race.
