lyrics

We spent the night deciding what we’d fit in the backseat
What the neighbors might could use, and what we’d leave out on the street
We could’ve slept an hour more, or maybe two or three before we hit the road
But we could almost stretch our arms across the interstate,
And we had places still to go

We turned left to pass the high school where your friend had almost gone
Before she left for California where she still lives with her Mom
You mentioned how the letters dwindled in the year or so after she went away
And you wondered how you could love somebody so much
With nothing left to say

By the fountain where we met before the city tore it down
We stopped to find our names carved in the bricks there on the ground
It was worth all of the scratches on our bare feet to know we still had something left
At least until the city sent construction crews
To make itself forget

At the red light by the railroad, just inside the county lines
I searched the empty asphalt for something like a sign,
Wished that I had kept all of the loose change I’d scattered on the tracks
But the sun will be above us by the state line
And we’re never coming back
