about

an old friend and a back road. songs and smoke and a question that causes pause. I never wanted to give up when I'm with you.

lyrics

It seems it wasn't even when the car door closed.
Your burdens peeled away like summer clothes.
Your bags were packed your mind made up for sure.
The road ahead never felt so free before.

You said light one up and hand it here.
I'll catch you up on what's between my ears.
Had to sell the boat just to live in an old folk's home
While the college kids are in the street below.

And I've been wanting to give up.
I've been thinking it through.
Seems I need a few more hours down this road with you.
The things you say, the songs we sing the whole way through.
I never wanted to give up, when I'm with you.

Your cigarette's out again and it's been 20 years my friend.
you said you'll ask one time then you won't bring it up again...
...what a question.

I like watching you the last light of day.
When your eyes catch the sun that way.
And the conversation turns to dreams.
And we find our better selves it seems.

And I've been wanting to give up.
I've been thinking it through.
Seems I need a few more hours down this road with you.
The things you say, the songs we sing the whole way through.
I never wanted to give up, when I'm with you.
