I USED THE BEATING OF A KICKDRUM
TO MATCH THE BEATING OF MY HEART
YOU SAID WE'D SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE
YOU SAID WE'D TEAR THIS WORLD APART
WE TORE UP THE OPEN HIGHWAY
AND PUSHED OUR ENGINES HARD
LIVED OFF GAS STATION COFFEE
AND YOUR PARENT'S CREDIT CARD
THE INTERSTATE NEVER LOOKED SO GREAT UNTIL I OPENED UP MY EYES
THE EXIT SIGNS AND TRUCK STOP LIGHTS, AS THE SUMMER CAME ALIVE
BUT ALL GOOD THINGS MUST END
AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE CHANGE
I'M JUST GLAD THAT WE ALL STAYED THE SAME
WE ALL STAYED THE SAME
I REMEMBER CRANKING MUSIC
IN A LIGHT BLUE ASTRO VAN
PRAYING THAT TRANSMISSION
COULD MAKE IT ONE LAST STAND
WE STOPPED IN MISSISSIPPI
AND SWAM THAT OCEAN MUD
CUT SHORTS WITH A CLEAVER
OH DAMN THAT LIFE WAS GOOD
THE INTERSTATE NEVER LOOKED SO GREAT UNTIL I OPENED UP MY EYES
THE EXIT SIGNS AND TRUCK STOP LIGHTS, AS THE SUMMER CAME ALIVE
BUT ALL GOOD THINGS MUST END
AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE CHANGE
I'M JUST GLAD THAT WE ALL STAYED THE SAME
WE ALL STAYED THE SAME
IT'S YOUR FUNERAL HE SAID, AS HE TOOK THE WHEEL
I REMEMBER THAT CORPUS CHRISTI NIGHT AND OUR LAST MEAL
IT'S YOUR FUNERAL HE SAID, BUT WE'RE STILL ALIVE
20 HOURS BACK TO DAYTON, WHO'S READY
WHO'S READY FOR A DRIVE
