interstate

We drove down the road in the summer

The two of us in your car

You saw in the eyes of another

As we sat there drinking alone in that gypsy bar

You looked at me like a brother

As we swam through the interstate

Two men all alone there's no other

A connection a band we couldn't fake


The road that will bring us together

Is wild and goes on forever

The miles they pass on like water

In this moment i cannot and will not be bothered


We sat in the backseat of your parent's car

We drove through the day it didn't feel that far

We both played papijump while time melted away

Like wax down a candle on that interstate

We arrived in Luling to lend a hand

The sun it beat down and life felt so grand

Your grandmother said that you had good taste

But it was I who was lucky on that interstate


The road that will bring us together

Is wild and goes on forever

The miles they pass online water

In this moment I cannot and will not be bothered


Texas highways they hold this great power

While time continues to die away

There is no way to stop it from passing

But time seems to stand still on the interstate

The dark pavement it seems to be fearless

It lasts through bad weather and time

It will last on much longer than I will

It will be here long after I die


The road that will bring us together

Is wild and goes on forever

The miles they pass on like water

IN this moment I cannot and will not be bothered
