County Road

[Verse 1] Hey kid, where ya goin' With those brand-new wheels you got? You think you're gonna last forever Forever says you're not Won't you take me down this gravel road And out a little ways? Forget about this prison town These goddamn summer days Ever since you went away Well, it's gotten bad round here Sometimes I wanna see it burn In my rearview mirror You're so lucky you made it out And you don't even know But I still see your car driving up and down County road County road County road [Verse 2] I've got this joint, let's go get high And shoot a little dice I'll pour some gin, you can buy me in Oh, wouldn't that be nicе? Ever since the storm camе through Well, there's not much left to save Developers, they bought your house They're gonna tear it down in May Keep waking up from this nightmare dream Time cuts like a knife I wish I could have back What I didn't know were the best years of my life Maybe I'm lucky, I'm already dead And I don't even know But I still see your headlights runnin' through the trees Out on County road County road [Verse 3] Remember when we got drunk That time in Ontario Listening to Warren Zevon On the stereo I keep thinking 'bout that very last night When we went down to the bar And even though you're no longer here You'll never be that far Hey kid, you know it's been Three years since the change The band broke up, the boys don't talk And the city's rearranged No one's lucky and no one's saved And no one really knows Why it was you who had to go down like that Out on County road Why it was you? Why it was you?
