We played heads-up in a car in Seattle, god rock on the radio
You look like a superstar, and Dom got into Juilliard
And I’m really bad at heads up, what do you know
My drummer fell for a girl in a cookie shop
He said he’d make a move, and then he went with ‘excuse me’
Came a boy and left a man, gotta give it to the band, greatest one in Oregon
And looking back, all I know is
It was friday nights, it was video gold
Oh it was shining lights, it was rock and roll
It was the band and I on a 12 bed bus, and it was making and messing it up
It was endless roads, in the same old boots
Oh it was letting go, of everything but you
It was the band and I on a 12 bed bus, if we’re living the dream, I hope we never wake up
Snowstorm in the middle of Texas, called my mother in a Denny’s and lied
Told her I’d been eating then, told her you were just friend
Told her I was homesick, I hadn’t thought of home twice
Drive and then we drive again to an ocean, and I think I knew it then for a moment
It was friday nights, it was video gold
Oh it was shining lights, it was rock and roll
It was the band and I on a 12 bed bus, and it was making and messing it up
It was endless roads, in the same old boots
Oh it was letting go of everything but you
It was the band and I on a 12 bed bus, if we’re living the dream, I hope we never wake up
I hope we never wake up x4
Two nights in the El Rey went flying, I’m 21 and I feel evergreen
The band go home, I stay to write, we drive around, I stay the night
Guys I’m pretty sure it’s the American Dream
It was changing clocks, it was Tina stoned, oh it was midnight stops at border control
Yeah it was power cuts, it was certain doom, it was living in the Little Rock laundry room
Oh it was breaking down, it was falling in love, in a gas station by the pickup trucks
In Philadelphia, it was crystal clear, we are the best damn band that’s ever played right here
It was magic babe, pure and strong, it was the last man standing for the Eagles song
It was a farflung wish when we were young, now we’re living the dream and I hope we never wake up
