Following Rita
Made my exit on the turn pike
I saw the stateside toll and shuffled for some change
I paid a man that talked as if he knew me
And I could see it in his eyes
He could tell that I was running away
What are you waiting for? It's just a minute away
Travel light, you might just find yourself there for the day
What are you waiting for? It's just a minute away
Following Rita, following Rita
Stopped to make a call and picked up Elvis
Elvis James McCabe, a future millionaire
He wrestled with his thoughts out loud
About two girls that he had left behind
And said for 45 dollars, he could help me on my way, and get rich too
What are you waiting for? It's just a minute away
Travel light, you might just find yourself there for the day
What are you waiting for? It's just a minute away
Following Rita, following Rita
There was talk about after high school, I would get a job
Gig at night, and she would go to some community school
But her father changed jobs, and we cried together
As her plane was flyin' away
Well, the phone never was enough for us to hold on to
Now, every mile that I drive away gets me closer to you, yeah
What are you waiting for? It's just a minute away
And traveling light, you might not want me to stay for the day
What are you waiting for? It's just a mile away
Following Rita
What are you waiting for? It's just a minute away
Travel light, you might just find yourself there for the day
What are you waiting for? It's just a minute away
Following Rita, following Rita

What are you waiting for? It's just a minute away
