Lyrics
There's a girl by the road
claiming to be
prom queen from home
Says she knows me from school
for all I care she could be Marilyn Monroe
So we walk side by side this dead film star and I
and then a truck picks her up
Tail lights fading away of course I know it's too late
but I still say
I remember you well you're every girl I ever have known and loved
Doesn't matter much now I just wish I somehow could have told her
it's going to be alright
I'll follow this road and where it ends I'll call it home
Eyes kept up straight 'cause looking back is looking away
A river through town
the two tower church is a king without crown
Goodbye bear town factories and fields
I'll see you around
We rode down to the store lit a trash can on fire
just to see something more
All together in the dark
watching the glow up from king's park
Everyone else went home as I stood there watching that fire die alone
That's a long time ago now,
a long time to hold on to vague memories
All those kids are spread out now
they're bankers and lawyers
but none of them's a priest
Those who blocks out their dreams
now they're just a bunch of streets and strangers homes
oh no
I'll follow this road and where it ends I'll call it home
Eyes kept up straight 'cause looking back is looking away
A river through town
the two tower church is a king without crown
Goodbye bear town factories and fields
I'll see you around
You just watch time pass by
and it makes you forget where you come from and
where you're going
All the winding wrong turns in the world couldn't
possibly be worse than
than not knowing at all
one of your plans
one of your friends
could have made it into anything at all
if they had only been given a shot or had
taken that chance that was
that was given to them
oooh oooh
oooh
While they were sleeping
while they were sleeping
or dreaming of what could have been
