[00:17.76]The skies were pure and the fields were green
[00:22.14]And the sun was brighter than it's ever been
[00:25.98]When I grew up with my best friend Kenny
[00:29.40]We were close as any brothers than you ever knew
[00:34.92]It was always summer and the future called
[00:39.33]We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all
[00:43.53]And there was so much left to dream and so much time to make it real
[00:52.08]But I can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone
[01:00.30]They said he crashed and burned
[01:02.43]I know I'll never learn why any boy should die so young
[01:08.55]We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune
[01:12.42]We got in trouble but we sure got around
[01:16.74]There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark
[01:20.55]I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground
[01:28.71]But it was long ago and it was far away, oh God it seems so very far
[01:37.38]And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car
[01:48.15]And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
[01:56.31]And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
[02:51.18]And when the sun descended and the night arose
[02:55.95]I heard my father cursing everyone he knows
[02:59.82]He was dangerous and drunk and defeated
[03:03.03]And corroded by failure and envy and hate
[03:07.92]There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze
[03:12.66]Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees
[03:16.41]And my father's eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and again
[03:24.21]I know I still believe he'd never let me leave, I had to run away alone
[03:32.10]So many threats and fears, so many wasted years before my life became my own
[03:39.99]And though the nightmares should be over
[03:43.71]Some of the terrors are still intact
[03:47.61]I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice
[03:51.48]And then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back
[05:46.56]There was a beauty living on the edge of town
[05:50.85]And she always put the top up and the hammer down
[05:55.08]And she taught me everything I'll ever know
[05:58.95]About the mystery and the muscle of love
[06:03.51]The stars would glimmer and the moon would glow
[06:07.11]I'm in the back seat with my Julie like a Romeo
[06:11.40]And the signs along the highway all said, Caution! Kids At Play!
[06:19.02]Those were the rights of spring and we did everything
[06:23.01]There was salvation every night
[06:26.85]We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn
[06:30.75]But everything we tried was right
[06:34.53]She used her body just like a bandage
[06:38.40]She used my body just like a wound
[06:42.18]I'll probably never know where she disappeared
[06:45.99]But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now
[06:49.80]Just like an angel rising up from a tomb
[07:19.14]And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
[08:37.20]And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
[09:09.93]She used her body just like a bandage
[09:14.19]She used my body just like a wound
[09:19.11]I'll probably never know where she disappeared
[09:22.71]But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now
