lyrics

It's a picture perfect skyline
When you're laughing with your brothers
Every mile another exit sign
Some better than the others
And fixing flats at 4am
Somehow beats the gateway whims
Of routine and rotation
And it has me begging

Please! Please!
I'm on my goddamn knees
We came here for the stages
But we left with all these memories

This stretch of road is endless
I'm claustrophobic as it is

I'm young and stupid
And not paying attention
I'm here to make mistakes
And drag my friends along
I'm lifting gaming cards
Or playing Pokemon
I miss the old state
But I'm up for the next one

From tearing up the Walmart stall
To not taking a shit at all
Watch daniel Bryan kick some ass
While all along we get the
Chance to play in different states
And new faces for every day
It ends as quick as it will start
Now my heart is screaming at you

Please! Please!
I'm on my goddamn knees
We came here for the stages
But we left with all these memories

This highway food it tastes like shit
But eat to live and live for this

I'm young and stupid
And not paying attention
I'm here to make mistakes
And drag my friends along
I'm lifting gaming cards
Or playing Pokemon
I miss the old state
But I'm up for the next one

Walk out with magazines
And hiding the playing cards
I'll bring this home with me
I'll bring this home with me

This highway food it tastes like shit
But eat to live and live for this
