702

We drove the desert in a Cadillac I got my first tattoo with you Your neon eyes, they were buzzin' Yeah, we didn't have much to lose And we were sneaking in to all the local dives As we were sinking in, to the sands of time

The smoke danced off your cigarette But I could see you through the haze We were running on adrenaline Yeah, that was life in the good old days But I knew that I had to let you go that night And the hardest part was to say goodbye

What tears us apart brings us closer

You know I had to go But you're still my home This city's flesh and bone What tears us apart brings us closer You know I had to go But you're still my home This city's flesh and bone What tears us apart brings us closer

I should be calling more than I do I say my schedule makes it tough And I know that's a bad excuse Just can't admit that Cali fucked me up So forgive me, love, for that dotted line That's when I saw the world You never left my mind

What tears us apart brings us closer

You know I had to go But you're still my home This city's flesh and bone What tears us apart brings us closer You know I had to go But you're still my home This city's flesh and bone What tears us apart brings us closer What tears us apart brings us closer

You took a gamble on me Oh, the irony You took a gamble on me Oh, the irony

I started a band down in Liberty I think I wrote you a song or two Hope the boys are still smiling I wonder if they think about me too

You know I had to go But you're still my home This city's flesh and bone What tears us apart brings us closer You know I had to go But you're still my home This city's flesh and bone What tears us apart brings us closer What tears us apart brings us closer What tears us apart brings us closer
