Lyrics
Well best friends change and pets pass away and your folks go someplace sunny to live.
And you're filled with a void that's got you annoyed and you've got the whole world to give.
And the one who washes you, teaches you, watches you says she's got someplace better to be.
So you take off her clothes and nobody knows, so you get one more in for free.
And it doesn't help much, but atleast it's a touch of something warm and soft.
And you want her to stay, but you send her away, and you pay for her traveling costs.
So you go to the garage just to be alone
You play a few chords and sing
You go to the river where once you were with her
And you give up everything.
'Cause sometimes you change
Sometimes you grow
And when all you want to do is stay
Then it's time to go
Yeah we were young with nothing to run from, but the law and the morning.
And God gave us beer, and God gave us fire, and the devil gave us women and made us higher.
We stared at the stars from the banks of the river and we talked about life and growin' older.
And we built a mascot out of old beer cans and we built a lifetime's worth of memories.
And if we were runnin', atleast we were runnin' stride for stride 'til we grew tired.
'Cause sometimes you change
Sometimes you grow
And when all you want to do is stay
Then it's time to go
So I catch a plane and I head for home where I've got a place to stay
There's two empty rooms in my father's house where no one lives today
Yeah we come here every summer. We sit and reminisce
Oh, the parties and the trouble; the first girls that we kissed
So I head to the garage where I was never alone
And I think of which songs to play
And though we all swear we're never leaving
We all know that we can't stay
'Cause we've all changed
And we've all grown
And although we'd love to stay
We'd better go
Yeah we were young with nothing to run from, but the law and our jobs.
And God gave us beer, And God gave us families and the devil, he gave us a call.
We stared at the sun from the banks of the river, and we talked about life and how we are older.
And we built a mascot out of old beer cans and we built a lifetime's worth of memories.
And if we were runnin', atleast we were runnin' stride for stride 'til we grew tired.
