What do you do when your girlfriend abruptly dumps you very early in the morning? Well, you leave in a hurry. Then get in your trusty old car and drive slowly home. Thinking about your sudden change of life circumstances, you notice small details and have moments of poignant emotional clarity. Early morning commuters and truckers are in more of a hurry than you, so you take the slow lane and they pass you when they can. Driving through the pre-dawn darkness, you imagine the road as a metaphor for life and how to live it. How did you get here, and where will you go next? You liked this girl. You thought this was a girl you could be with for a long time. But then she dumped you without any warning and the relationship is over way too soon. Maybe if you\'d only given her more of your best quality time then she wouldn\'t have felt she needed to move on. You feel sad, but optimistic. You are "riding with Lady Luck" - betting on the future now, hoping for better luck with your next GF. "Dang!", you think, "I could write a great song about this..."
