about

this is a song we wrote spring of last year... enjoy

lyrics

sleep deprived, driving back from your parents house
jelly mind, still in the fight that we memorized
a bearded dude, reaching a thumb with an attitude
looking back, i should've known when he never asked
where i was headed to

he stumbled in right off the highway shoulder
i'm craving rest, but i needed him to get home tonight

we drove for hours on end
he was a hundred miles from anywhere

offered me sour wine in a travel mug
he said son you'll see there ain't no use catching a lightning bug
i tried a sip and the wheel starts slippin' away from me
it tasted like a second chance, a vision of a more complete romance
where you resurrected me

we drifted off the road
he said "let me off anywhere"
