[length: 05:55]
[00:17.79]The skies were pure and the fields were green
[00:22.18]And the sun was brighter than it’s ever been
[00:25.91]When I grew up with my best friend Kenny
[00:29.59]We were close as any brothers that you ever knew
[00:35.06]It was always summer and the future called
[00:39.34]We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all
[00:43.79]There was so much left to dream
[00:47.10]And so much time to make it real
[00:52.23]But I can still recall the sting of all
[00:56.31]The tears when he was gone
[01:00.27]They said he crashed and burned
[01:02.49]I know I’ll never learn
[01:04.48]Why any boy should die so young?
[01:08.49]We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune
[01:12.54]We got in trouble but we sure got around
[01:16.71]There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark
[01:20.61]I think he’s right behind me now, and he’s gaining ground
[01:28.89]But it was long ago and it was far away
[01:32.92]Oh God, it seems so very far
[01:37.33]And if life is just a highway
[01:41.41]Then the soul is just a car
[01:46.10]
[01:48.33]And objects in the rear view mirror
[01:51.36]May appear closer than they are
[01:56.31]And objects in the rear view mirror
[01:59.62]May appear closer than they are
[02:05.83]They are
[02:09.65]And when the sun descended and the night arose
[02:14.33]I heard my father cursing everyone he knows
[02:18.57]He was dangerous and drunk and defeated
[02:21.51]And corroded by failure and envy and hate
[02:26.70]There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze
[02:31.26]Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees
[02:34.98]And my father’s eyes were blank
[02:37.99]As he hit me again and again and again
[02:42.65]I know I still believe he’d never let me leave
[02:46.85]I had to run away alone
[02:50.64]So many threats and fears, so many wasted years
[02:54.65]Before my life became my own
[02:58.45]And though the nightmares should be over
[03:02.39]Some of the terrors are still intact
[03:06.14]I’ll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice
[03:09.92]And then he grabs me from behind
[03:12.77]And then he pulls me back
[03:17.62]But it was long ago and it was far away
[03:21.83]Oh God, it seems so very far
[03:25.94]And if life is just a highway
[03:30.06]Then the soul is just a car
[03:36.48]And objects in the rear view mirror
[03:39.80]May appear closer than they are
[03:44.59]And objects in the rear view mirror
[03:47.62]May appear closer than they are
[03:52.13]And objects in the rear view mirror
[03:55.58]May appear closer than they are
[04:00.57]
[04:22.59]There was a beauty living on the edge of town
[04:27.20]She always put the top-up and the hammer down
[04:31.00]And she taught me everything I’ll ever know
[04:34.87]About the mystery and the muscle of love
[04:39.03]Those were the rights of spring and we did everything
[04:43.16]There was salvation every night
[04:46.93]We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn
[04:50.76]But everything we tried was right
[04:54.76]She used her body just like a bandage
[04:58.58]She used my body just like a wound
[05:02.28]I’ll probably never know where she disappeared
[05:06.07]But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now
[05:09.88]Just like an angel rising up from a tomb
[05:15.67]But it was long ago and it was far away
[05:19.92]Oh God, it seems so very far
[05:24.32]And if life is just a highway
[05:28.66]Then the soul is just a car
[05:32.95]And objects in the rear view mirror
[05:36.29]May appear closer than they are
[05:40.95]And objects in the rear view mirror
[05:44.30]May appear closer than they are
[05:49.12]And objects in the rear view mirror
