Tigers blood shedding on the sidewalk
Alfalfa in the air
New kid in the county, crowd shy
Hunch in the shoulders with gelled-up hair
Cowboy up on a shot Ford Ranger
You're a stranger now
Meet me at the country crossroads
Cheerleader working the till
She wants to get outta this podunk place
So bad, she could taste the dream is still
Peach fuzz boys getting hard in the corner
On Mortal Kombat
The swamp coolers leaking down the bricks outside
Yeah, I wanna go but I need a ride
Swisher sweet dreams blow a light breeze
Down in the hollow with the cottonwood trees
We'll get work and we'll pay the rent
In a few more years when we're real men
Last thing that I heard
You were doing okay
We took different roads to heal the hurt
Not fade away
The things that we can't explain
Roll on like a runaway train
Into the fire and out of the frame
Wild and gone like a runaway train
Disposable Kodak memory
You crack another joker smile
Diploma in your hand on the fifty-yard line
Runners, on your mark, for the longest mile
And no one ever thinks that they'll be lonely
When they're all grown up
They're just living their best lie
The swamp coolers leaking down the bricks outside
Yeah, I wanna go but I need a ride
Swisher sweet dreams blow a light breeze
Down in the hollow with the cottonwood trees
We bury the things in shallow graves
That wet our eyes when the music plays
Last thing that I heard
You were doing okay
We took different roads to heal the hurt
Not fade away
The things that we can't explain
Roll on like a runaway train
Into the fire and out of the frame
Wild and gone like a runaway train
Last thing that I heard
You were doing okay
I still smile when I remember us in younger days
The things that we can't explain
Roll on like a runaway train
Into the fire and out of the frame
Wild and gone like a runaway train
Like a run, like a runaway
Like a run, like a runaway
Like a run, like a runaway train
Like a runaway train
Like a run, like a runaway
Like a run, like a runaway
Like a run, like a runaway train
Like a runaway train
