Lyrics
I'm a lover of yesterday
It don't matter where I lay
I've got tall boots and memories to hold
And when the sun finally sets
I can see my cigarettes
Burning slow just like the songs on the radio
Young man, seventeen
Green eyes and blue jeans
And boots so worn from all the miles they've seen
I remember holding on to every prayer I said at dawn
Like give me hope, I promise I'll never leave
I promise I'll never leave
Oh, where would I go?
'Cause all these melodies are sad and cold
And all these stories that have been told
All have me growing old
On the dusty hood of a car
I could hear all the stars
Singing out of tune with the moon
And the song was sad as hell
And then the stars fell
Lighting up the road between me and you
Young man, twenty-three
Living on amphetamines
And eyes so black from all the sadness they've seen
I remember holding on to every prayer I said at dawn
Like give me hope, I promise I'll never leave
I promise I'll never leave
Oh, where would I go?
'Cause all these melodies are sad and slow
And all these stories that have been told
All have me growing old
I remember holding on to every prayer I said at dawn
Like give me hope, I promise I'll never leave
I promise I'll never leave
Oh, where would I go?
'Cause all these melodies are sad and cold
And all these stories that have been told
All have me growing old
Ba-da-da, da-da-da
Ba-da-da, da-da-da
Ba-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ba-da-da, da-da-da
Ba-da-da, da-da-da
Ba-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
