The band go home, I stay to write

We drive around, I stay the night

It was living in the Little Rock laundry room

In a gas station by the pick-up trucks

In Philadelphia, it was crystal clear

We are the best damn band that ever played right here

Now we're living the dream and I hope we never wake up
