Lyrics
Stuck on the highway, 11 a.m
I am driving through LA in traffic again
I thought I was a writer, but lately I feel like a hack
They called me a hero, but I was a sinner
I drank before lunch and I took drugs with dinner
Then burned every bridge that I crossed on the long journey back
Oh, oh, I won't lie, when I was young and high
Crossing the distance, flying got me there faster
You can stare at the runway lights, dreaming of days in flight
But don't you go crash-land twice, you little disaster
I passed the apartment at Sunset and Vine
Where I lived with my friends and we smoked ourselves blind
It's crazy how time can turn chaos and crime into magic
Today I'll make music, drive home to the beach
Kiss my daughter goodnight as she's falling asleep
I live with this hunger, but everything I need, I have it
Oh, oh, I won't lie, when I was young and high
Crossing the distance, flying got me there faster
You can stare at the runway lights, dreaming of days in flight
But don't you go crash-land twice, you little disaster
I was tilting at the wind, I was running in circles
So hard catching your breath if you never slow down
I was tilting at the wind, I was running in circles
So hard catching your breath, if you never slow down
Oh, oh, I won't lie, when I was young and high
Crossing the distance, flying got me there faster
You can stare at the runway lights, dreaming of days in flight
But don't you go crash-land twice, you little disaster
Stuck on the highway, 11 a.m
I am driving through LA in traffic again
It's crazy how time can turn chaos and crime into magic
