The Long Way |
We were islands soaked in solitude |
Joined by the tide, we pushed back and we outgrew |
If you told me the highway would wear your tires through |
Then I’d go back and take the long way with you |
Warm cans of Steel Reserve in a basement |
Sweat-stained singalongs and discontent |
Bound together by not fitting in |
Punk rock songs and teenage stress |
We were freaks, we were kids, we were miscreants |
We were islands soaked in solitude |
Joined by the tide, we pushed back and we outgrew |
If you told me the highway would wear your tires through |
Then I’d go back and take the long way with you |
In bars that reeked of piss and alcohol |
Choking on mothballs in legion halls |
Found a place where we belonged |
With each other we were strong |
We were kin, we were rebels lost without a cause |
It’s a lump in my throat and a longing for the Mitten State |
An infinite search for a past that I can’t recreate |
We were islands soaked in solitude |
Joined by the tide, we pushed back and we outgrew |
If you told me the highway would wear your tires through |
Then I’d go back and take the long way |
We were islands soaked in solitude |
Joined by the tide, we pushed back and we outgrew |
If you told me the highway would wear your tires through |
Then I’d go back and take the long way with you |
