You were an old friend The kind I could confide in And drink with on random neighbors' porch steps Our glossy eyes painted portraits of the streets You were an old friend That covered up your innocence With five tattoos of all the bands you loved in high school The ones you said that I had to listen to all the time
I did what I did to get away from this Cause everything that's happened has left me a total wreck And everything that I do now is meaningless So I'm off to wander around the world for a little bit Without one hundred channels with nothing on the TV And the great pessimistic unknown
So does anyone know the best way to go? Which road that I could take to get to Mexico? Cause I'm so sick of living in this ditch With only the memory in the back of my head I'm on cruise control and the radio was on Yeah, they were playing that song That we both learned on our Mexican guitars I'm on cruise control and the radio was on They were playing that song That we both learned on our Mexican guitars You were my old friend
