This is a trip on the highway The horizon is so beautiful My beard stinks like your hair We both dirty well this is fair The first time I saw her I knew she could Rock N' Roll One way or another Tonight baby we roll We bid farewell...cuz' You’ll never be back baby Dallas is far from here People laugh at us when we say Do you think life is far from here? We'll make fun of them Cause they'll never understand
2.
Oh save my life Save me from the vice Save my life at any price.. price.. price Please babe time is running out Nothing’s like the taste of your dirty mouth Do you remember where we met for the first time? The room of our childhood Where we were feeling just fine No need for a house No need for a job No need for a ride..ride..ride My bank account is empty Who needs money? Who needs... Who needs money? I know someday I’ll be eyes closed on my deathbed Wondering of some better days I know I’ll be soon burning in hell For turning my back on your pretty face
3.
Oh yeah So you think you can kick me out of our room And punch me in the face on our honeymoon Whatever you do I’ll come back to you Me and my blues Whatever you do I’ll come back for you Me and my blues Come back to you Come back for you Oh baby please get in the car You can’t forget all the road we made so far! Whatever you do I’ll come back for boose Me and my blues Whatever you do I know what I choose You or my blues You or my boose Just let me choose You and my blues Me and my blues You or my boose Just let me choose You and my blues

He ain't no doctor, he ain't no scientist But he played more songs than the jukebox's list Everybody in town can tell you about Billy I can tell you that he's even more than a pretty damn good daddy to me Up in the townships He builds strange things to kill time Plenty of time, plenty of things to ignore Drinking strong whisky, playin' his old guitar Saturday nights, house full of sounds The only worthy thing in this sad town Never up front, always shaking ground Have a talk with him, he'll turn you upside-down By his front door, he's waving goodbye He is our father His presence will sing forever in our minds Saturday nights, house full of sounds The only worthy thing in this sad town

I’m standing alone at the corner of an empty boulevard Blinded by Moonshine, my childhood in mind I was born in the boose and the NASCAR My mommy never thought I could go so far Now I’m singing you the story of a hundred hangovers And a terrible lover We are, we are forever We are, we are lovers Lovers in the sunrise I remember every single sip Of that cheap ass Whisky I remember every drag Of these cheap ass cigarettes My throat is dry The sun on my face I'm all in a sweat Blinded by moonshine I'm still going blind.. I am lying on the concrete Remembering old memories Listening to every heartbeat Of these forgotten cities It hurts my lungs It hurts my liver But I swear I've never felt so alive

From where I stand I can hear downtown's frenzy From where I stand I can listen to the meadow's melody From where I stand... People here just come and go Looking for something they'll never find At night, men are looking for a cheap strip To forget their lives in the abandoned townships Forget their sad lives From where I stand I see enslaved zombies Enjoying the unreal Until the cemetery From where I stand... People here just come and go Looking for something they'll never find At night, men are looking for a cheap strip To forget their lives in the abandoned townships The old Jimmy's truck is rumbling But no one is listening I heard he shot himself last winter And I know the town pulled the trigger People here just come and go Looking for something they'll never find At night, men are looking for a cheap strip To forget their lives... their sad sad lives

We’re driving our bikes In the small city of loneliness With friends by my side We we’re young and cruel Why do people never feel bad For the wrong things they did To the people who don’t deserve it I just think they we’re young and cruel Oh please don’t think we knew How painful were these words We thought we acted like men But we were nothing but kids We thought we acted like men But we were nothing but kids Driving my bike down the street My mind is filled with fear Oh Lord tell me What have I done Oh no they didn't deserve it What have I done? At first it was hard to admit Now I've grown ashamed and on the run. Driving my bike down the street My mind is filled with fear Oh Lord please tell me What I have done Oh please don’t think we knew How painful were these words We thought we acted like men But we were nothing but kids

When do I started getting old? Twenty crazy years just passed My baby, she thinks she’s misunderstood I’d die just to hear ‘’everything is good’’ From my window I see, i see the rain Where is the sun to heal, to heal my pain? Soon she will be far gone Please stop being on the run I’m still looking for a star Shooting right from your eye A cloud of mystery floating on your face I’m out of ways to end your race From my window I see, i see the rain Where is the sun to heal, to heal my pain Soon she will be far gone Please stop being on the run

When I was a just a little boy I discovered a passion School wasn't for me, oh no I used to be always wasted at the party After thirteen years of running in circles I finally lighted the fire in me Months pass but always last The summer is timed out With a bunch of folks playing all these dirty notes And me giving the beat oh so fast We will never forget What happened at the 10th Line This place is not just mine It’s the heart of plenty young bastards

We Are Alive 04:25
Even if I'm sick Even if I'm tired Even if the world keeps pushing me down I know you help me get through every... Every single seasons of my life I used to be so scared of everything you mean to me Now we're walking the world side by side Don't you remember seeing me as a stranger Don't you remember the night we could finally say: We are alive Seasons will always be and until we die we'll always see These weathers in our hearts that tears us apart Reminds us that we are alive Even if I'm sick Even if I'm tired Even if the world keeps pushing me down We break these chains And we're never ever heading back home again The sun is warming my heart Dress to the wind, you kill the dark Seasons will always be and until we die we'll always see These weathers in our hearts that tears us apart Reminds us that we are alive Even if I'm sick Even if I'm tired Even if the world keeps pushing me down We break these chains And we're never ever heading back home again Whatever happens next I'm sure is for the best I'm ready to make a mess Building something out of trust With many years behind us Until our bones turn to dust Seasons will always be and until we die we'll always see These weathers in our hearts that tears us apart Reminds us that we are alive Even if I'm sick Even if I'm tired Even if the world keeps pushing me down We break these chains And we're never ever heading back home again So listen carefully while I'm singing our history This is my last refrain Cause we've never ever heading back home again
