Threeway Freeway

He thought for sure it would be allright
Their logic was sound
Without any doubt
But something got lost
In the translation friends
Between that hotel room
And the line where friendship ends
He said it would be OK
That it would be good for both of them
But now all he feels is bad
Whenever she touches him

Chorus:
That old threeway freeway
Has taken an unexpected toll on him
It’s written on a cave wall somewhere
That it’s no fun to be on the other end

He made her promise to telephone
When they got checked in
If they are just friends
Why doesn’t he believe
All that bullshit they said
I guess his dust bowl heart
Trumped his polygamous head
She said it would be allright
That it was an artificial line
One that somebody else drew
He thinks he understands why

Chorus:
That old threeway freeway
Has taken an unexpected toll on him
It’s written on a cave wall somewhere
That it’s no fun to be on the other end

Once you’ve been on that threeway freeway
There’s no exit ramp
That can take you back
To the place you left
And even if it could
They won’t remember you
The way you once hoped they would
They thought it would be just fine
Because there was no betrayal, though
He wishes she had just lied
Because then he wouldn’t know

Chorus:
That old threeway freeway
Has taken an unexpected toll on him
It’s written on a cave wall somewhere
That it’s no fun to be on the other end
