lyrics

Rows of corn they greet my eyes, and welcome me back home
Down the foothills as we rise, and leave no place unknown
Passed the fruit stands and the second hand cars for sale
Going twenty over, hitting every pothole

I can’t afford another ticket, but we can burn through this whole tank of gas
Haven’t heard your voice in years but the radio’s on and I need you here with me.

Drive past the house head up the mountain, we crashed into a tree
40 cans rolls down the hill, and end up in the creek
We grab what we can, head back to the house to tell our friends
Revel in our apathy, our time seems without end

I’ve got two weeks left to be here, and I’ll spend them in a haze
Catch a ride out of Bluefield, and the whole way down I’m wishing that I’d stayed.

Sixty miles north of the one place that I’d rather be
And you can’t tell me to follow rivers, then lay down at the sea
Cause by the sweetest by and by, I’ve come to find you here
Worn down from the many miles, and overcome with fear

We could stay a while longer, we’ve got no place to be
The feelings getting stronger, with the radio on
I need you here with me.
