High School Friend

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Raisin' hell in Wayne County With a copper on our tail Hopin' that he drives on by me But knowin' this town, he'll probably throw us in jail We're both so paranoid in our hometown There's so much unclaimed baggage at the carousels And though we're guilty of nothin', we feel like fugitives runnin' Towards the Great White North or a border town in Mexico [Pre-Chorus] There's former you, there's former me We're tellin' tales of revisionist history I remember the days we couldn't hardly wait to end [Chorus] I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend Wonderin' where all the good times went I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend Wonderin' where all the good times went [Verse 2] We left town the minute we turned eighteen We moved to different corners of the country Now we come back for holidays and funerals So much has changed, but Wayne County's still the same [Pre-Chorus] Drivin' down 191, there's an old memory of someone As a little white cross just poppin' out from the bend [Chorus] I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend Wonderin' where all the good times went I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend Wonderin' where all the good times went [Bridge] (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) Don't let the overwhelmin' sorrow shred all hopes of tomorrow Don't let 'em tell ya how to live your life 'Cause they may never understand But it's okay, because I do We know all the ups and downs each other have been through [Chorus] I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend Wonderin' where all the good times went I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend Wonderin' where all the good times went [Outro] (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
