On the Outside Looking In

Song Length 6:01 Genre Folk - Rock

Lyrics

Outside it was 32º and I was driving on Rt. 32,
Mother nature's manic disorder manifested itself in the form of a snow storm.
"Mother, I am sorry for drinking and driving, please go easy on me."
But she saw fit to teach me a lesson I'm sure I'll soon forget.

All at once it happened, and I didn't even notice until it had ended.
The wind side-swiped me with just enough force to blow my car off course.
Clenching the steering wheel, I searched my soul as I and my car spun out of control.
And 10 seconds and 360º later I was stalled out, still singing along to the radio song.

And In a matter of those 10 seconds, 10,000 what-have-I-done-with-my-life's passed through my head.
And I was on the outside looking in.
Was it an out of body experience?
Or was I on the outside looking in?

Engrossed in self-worthlessness, I turned the engine over and over and over...
When I finally got it started, my only thoughts to wit: "hmmm, how interesting."
Then suddenly I was on the outside looking in.
Was it an out of body experience?
Or was I just on the outside looking in?

And In a matter of those 10 seconds, 10,000 what-have-I-done-with-my-life's passed through my head.
Then suddenly on the outside looking in.
I had an out of body experience.
I was on the outside looking in.

On the outside... looking in.
