about

i wrote this song to debunk claims that i am incapable of writing an upbeat song. just please imagine a really good drummer coming in at the appropriate point, thank you

lyrics

there's not enough room in this fountain of youth
to drown the both of us in the pennies we threw
we're just as alive as this county is dry
when we sneak in a bottle or two

i've got a car with a half tank of gas
we can take it to the edge of the street and go back
run home to cry cause we're no good at goodbyes
while we punch another pin in the map

so what if we can't make it out in one piece
and what if time ain't good to you and me
cause i can't see over this mountain trail of speed bumps yet
but someday i might leave you here to die with me instead
ready set go
ready set here i go

take me by the hand by the back of the throat
saying that you love me like you need me to know
you see in my face that im not up for the chase
im saving all my strength for the road

i've got a car with a bed in the back
we can sleep under the stars or we can polish off the jack
but you'll start missing mama before they realize that we're gone so
i'll just have to keep the wheels on the track

so what if we can't make it out in one piece
and what if this road ends with you and me
cause i can't see over the tree line that's killing this sunset
but someday i might leave you here to bury whatever's left
ready set go
ready set here i go

so what if we can't make it out in one piece
by now the map's more holes than it is streets
and i can't see over this little town we hate just yet
but tonight i think i'm gonna drive until the needle's in the red
ready set go
ready set let me go
ready set here i go
