High School Friend

Raisin' hell in Wayne County

With a copper on our tail

Hopin' that he drives on by me

But knowin' this town, he'll probably throw us in jail

We're both so paranoid in our hometown

There's so much unclaimed baggage at the carousels

And though we're guilty of nothin'

We feel like fugitives runnin'

Towards the Great White North or a border town in Mexico

There's former you, there's former me

We're tellin' tales of revisionist history

I remember the days we couldn't hardly wait to end

I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend

Wonderin' where all the good times went

I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend

Wonderin' where all the good times went

We left town the minute we turned 18

We moved to different corners of the country

Now we come back for holidays and funerals

So much has changed, but Wayne County's still the same

Drivin' down 191

There's an old memory of someone

As a little white cross just popping out from the bend

I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend

Wonderin' where all the good times went

I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend

Wonderin' where all the good times went

Oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Don't let the overwhelming sorrow

Shred all hopes of tomorrow

Don't let 'em tell you how to live your life

'Cause they may never understand

But it's okay, because I do

We know all the ups and downs each other have been through

I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend

Wonderin' where all the good times went

I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend

Wonderin' where all the good times went

Oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
