Evergreen

Well the sun is beating down the black top My hands are aching, my head is falling off And I can't seem to sleep past nine Crying eyes over wasted time And the older I get the more I see If you walk out the door there's no re-entry So where do I stay and when do I go? These are the questions I really wanna know So now I'm burning down the avenue At a hundred miles an hour Oh I'm burning down the avenue And I'm scared I ain't got much longer With you And back to the place where I grew up With stacks of books and the TV volume up I always dreamt of a bigger place Now I'm wondering why I wanted to escape this Cause my old dog ain't here no more Just sitting on the shelf with the ones that came before him Yeah so now just sit down and watch a film with me I need you here desperately And now I'm burning down the avenue At a hundred miles an hour Oh I'm burning down the avenue And I'm scared I ain't got much longer Oh I'm scared I ain't got much longer And well I close my eyes and I see everything See an old used car and a broken bike in an overgrown yard I see my friends walking through the field to the evergreen Where we'll drink too much and cry about everything And now I'm burning down the avenue At a hundred miles an hour Oh I'm burning down the avenue And I'm scared I ain't got much longer Oh I'm scared I ain't got much longer With you
