lyrics

The tequila left us shaking as we walked away from the car we crashed into a cedar tree just south of the Potomac. And by the time we'd sobered up I had landed back home in Chicago and you were waiting for the bus to Paris Island, South Carolina.

Summers drift like a gasoline haze and beneath the burned out skylights of Seaside Heights, the girls are streaming clothes into the Atlantic. And we're just trying not to talk about the prosthetic leg the government says is unrelated to the Purple Heart you've got locked inside the glove box of your Ford.

In the dark, where the roller coaster used to shine, you said "Hey Mike, do you remember when we used to drive the hills of our home town, just listening to Hearts of Oak, talking about how it was we wanted to live?" I said "Isn't it sick we're just growing old in these dive bars, murmuring while nostalgia festering in dried up hormones, working dead-end jobs until we grow numb?" You said "We don't need to live like that, I wake up every morning and I thank God for these calloused hands, these lungs full of smoke and oxygen."
