Songtexte

We left the shack in the rambler and we tumbled up north on one
A half shell, a barbecue, third honeymoon, and a sleepy son
We pulled along and wandered on about a year or so
But when the sun was low, the ditch
Was deep and the glow the first to go
Drove past the kin once and again without a blink or a breath
Found the last room in town and settled in for a little rest
The night before the big red barn and tequila tears
And I feel so much lighter now than in my younger years
Cause I'm younger now
History, my dear friend
Years away you say my name
I'm settled down
But I won't give up again
Years of trouble from a broken promise and a drop jar heart
At seventeen I never stopped to think that I'd have made it that far
Well who's to know we'd all built our lives on chaos and luck
I never knew the heart could take
Such a beating and still beat so much
After the stop sign night and a highway cry
Well dear we're still here
And sometimes I wonder what I was thinking of in that sinkhole year
Well Chico's gone like a shadow on the wall in our room tonight
And one of these days as the daylight fades
I'm just gonna lie down dear and turn out the light
Cause I'm younger now
History, my dear friend
Years away you say my name
I'm settled down
But I won't give up again
I know I stay out too late for Latin once in a while
But we both know the temptation of a
Stone drunk sad bitter friend's smile
The stars are out and when I am too dear I dream of you
And I miss you more as that wicked sun chews away at our precious moon
And I'm younger now
History, my dear friend
Years away you say my name
I'm settled down
But I won't give up again
Years away you say my name
