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
