lyrics

oh boy dont tell me that your spirits are dyin down, youre the only thing thats keepin me alive in this here town. i'd bleed blood for you, i need love from you. so tonight we'll hit the road, tonight we'll hit the road, im 16 years old i shoulda done it long ago, but tonight im on my way back home.

i've heard of ways of hoppin on those old freight trains downtown, oh girl this adventure's callin my name out loud, cuz im in love with it, i try but i just cant quit. but tonight i'll hit the road, im 16 years old, its ok to be alone but when you're 16 years old this loneliness takes a much harsher toll.

windows arent the most friendly place to sit, the cold air comes through like there aint nothin between you and it, and the streets down below, there's so many places to go, but no one to be there by your side, except the lies inside, and the two legs i need to ride, in the bushes we'll sleep and hide, yeah tonight i'll feel the wind on my skin.

oh boy i tell ya it seems my spirits are dying down, i been tryna figure out whether my companion was the road or this town. there was a time when it was you. it was to the ground with you. but now i gotta do it on my own. soon the moon will show me home. but i got my gloves i got my coat, i got three feet of snow, the blood from my lips froze, if i knew better i woulda known, rest the bridge rest my backbone, lay down before you go, i got one more night before tomorrow, then ill come out from below, when i was young, i was happy, i was alone.
