    Story Behind the Song
    Driving home in the early morning hours of my 19th birthday, after a couple hours of talking with Matt White.

    Lyrics
    I drive home doing '85,
    At a quarter after three.
    Slow enough for me to be safe,
    But fast enough, to be free.
    I know where all the cops wait,
    After every single turn.
    This, along with everything else,
    Was a lesson that I had to learn.

    Chorus:
    Might learn to love in this town of 30 thou.
    She’d smile and cry, as others live, as others die.
    These girls aren't one in the same, they ain’t none one at all.
    I watch my steps to avoid a fall. / (I turn my back and watch them fall.)

    A single trip to Conway,
    A place long held in esteem,
    Was enough for me to set straight,
    Reconcile, and redeem
    Failed attempts at friendship,
    With a girl who jokes about
    Selling her flesh, with a horrible
    Underlying seriousness.

    (Chorus)

    I have water at the corners of my eyes
    Crying is a long lost art.
    It's the pain I feel with each song writ,
    But letting go—it's a start.
    Wish I had a tape recorder
    For these last six years—
    Unerring document of
    Failed dreams, lost hopes, and conquered fears.

    (Chorus)
    (Bridge)
    (Chorus)
