lyrics

I had a long drive back down
To see the rooftop from the ground
I don’t like it when you jump alone

I was there beside the loaded gun
Holding on to Jesus’ Son
In my hand when you said you might read it

Feeling like you’re stuck on the 101
Everybody wants to have someone
Feeling like you’re stuck on the 101
Everybody wants to be someone

I don’t want to be following the crowd
Down at the golden lake
Honey, for goodness sake

I wasn’t there to make you look good
Holding onto the good book
In my hand when you said you might read it

Feeling like you’re stuck on the 101
Everybody wants to have someone
Feeling like you’re stuck on the 101
Everybody wants to be someone

Drive with me
Take a tape and play it all the way through
Hold my hand
While I sing it back to you

Drive with me
Take a tape and play it all the way through
Hold my hand
I’ll sing it back to you
