Kings of the Turnpike

We were driving 'til the sun came up again
Another summer night coming to its end
We started dancing and the world slowed down again
(I) still think about all the times we'd spend
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
You were my queen of the dawn
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
What went wrong?
It was (gonna) be an everlasting summer
The sun was going to shine down for weeks at a time
It was (gonna) be an everlasting summer
(I) kept dreaming of ways to make you mine
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
You were my queen of the dawn
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
What went wrong?
And I can still remember
The way that your hair danced
In the rearview mirror
Couldn't bring myself to take the chance
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
You were my queen of the dawn
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
What went wrong?
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
You were my queen of the dawn
We were the Kings of the Turnpike
What went wrong?

Rum & Coke

Well your perfume was rum & coke & nicotine
The night you told me you that were making a scene
But darling, I'm still not sure what that means
Maybe all of the great words have been spoken
Maybe all of the great songs have been sung
But darling, I'm still singing you this one
But darling, I'm still singing you this one
You were the only thing keeping me
Within a hundred miles of this damn city
And darling you kept me 'round this damn town
And darling you kept me 'round this damn town
And we are all fallen angels
Just searching for another side of paradise
And if you ever get the chance to find it
I hope you tell me what it's like
And I hope I see the light
Maybe all of the great words have been spoken
Maybe all of the great songs have been sung
But darling, I'm still singing you this one

Happy New Year

Happy new year, baby
Our hero whispers from across the room
He knows that everything's changing
He just hopes that it isn't too soon
And it's been 365 days
Since he's seen a smile on her face
It's been 365 days since he's seen her face
And he can't remember all of the questions, no
But he remembers
That whiskey was the answer
To too many of them
So let's raise a glass
To all of the bad days
'Cause they are all in the past
So let's raise a glass up high
Let's try to move on, to move on
And it seems we've lost our seasons
Letters written on a page
These words have lost their meaning
And we are all different degrees
Of alive and in love
And we are all different degrees
Of alive and in love
Happy new year, baby
Our hero whispers from across the room.
