where ya goin' with those brand new wheels you got?
You think you're gonna last forever,
Won't you take me down this gravel
road and out a little ways
Forget about this prison town,
these goddamn summer days
Ever since you went away, well,
it's gotten bad 'round here
burn in my rear view mirror
You're so lucky you made it out
But I still see your car driving up
let's go get high and shoot a little dice
I'll pour some gin, you can buy me in,
oh, wouldn't that be nice?
Ever since the storm came through,
well, there's not much left to save
Developers they bought your house,
they're gonna tear it down in May
Keep waking up from this nightmare dream,
I wish I could have back what I didn't
know were the best years of my life
I'm already dead and I don't even know
But I still see your headlights runnin'
through the trees out on County road
Remember when we got drunk that
Listening to Warren Zevon on the stereo
I keep thinking 'bout that very last night
when we went down to the bar
And even though you're no longer
here you'll never be that far
Hey kid, you know it's been three
The band broke up, the boys don't talk,
and the city's rearranged
No one's lucky and no one's
saved and no one really knows
Why it was you who had to go down
like that out on County road
