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 a long day
she was in it for it (only)

and they said "you think that you don't need us
but you're not going to get far
all your big ideas are suckers

none of them work
none of them have cars"
but she was not deterred

it was like she hadn't heard a word
and just then a primer grey el camino
pulled up to the curb


going once
going twice

down the road less taken
through the coffee
and the wd40

and the gasoline
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/cute? 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 (good) advice
of all the people who knew better (for better or for worse)
of all the people who knew worse

yeah her will was her chaufFer
yeah her will was her curse


she was packed
she had a suitcase
she had a map

and a straight face
she was ready for the lonely
she was in it forever

she was in it forever
she was in it
she was in it ...........
