Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are (Radio Edit)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The skies were pure and the fields were green The sun was brighter than it's ever been When I grew up with my best friend, Kenny We were close as any brothers that you ever knew It was always summer and the future called We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all And there was so much left to drеam And so much time to make it real [Verse 2] But I can still rеcall the sting of all the tears when he was gone They say he crashed and burned, I know I'll never learn Why any boy should die so young We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune We got in trouble, but we sure got around There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark I think he's right behind me now And he's gaining ground [Pre-Chorus] But it was long ago, and it was far away Oh God, it seems so very far And if life is just a highway Then the soul is just a car [Chorus] And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are (They are) [Verse 3] There was a beauty living on the edge of town She always put the top up and the hammer down And she taught me everything I'll ever know About the mystery and the muscle of love Those were the rites of spring and we did everything There was salvation every night We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn But everything we tried was right [Verse 4] She used her body just like a bandage She used my body just like a wound I'll probably never know where she disappeared But I can see rising up out of the back seat now Just like an angel rising up from a tomb [Pre-Chorus] But it was long ago, and it was far away Oh God, it seems so very far And if life is just a highway Then the soul is just a car [Chorus] And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
