HWY 49

You were friends on a midnight drive
Way too young, maybe 25
You don't miss her at all
And she don't miss you at all
Driving down highway 49
Top pulled back, all is black
No moon, just only stars
No lights from passing cars
Cold wind blows across your face
It's a perfect time, the perfect place
Shifting gears into overdrive
It's a great time to be alive

A moment lost, to another time
Driving down the 49
Her face is a distant blur
But that car, those stars and the Cure

This is not the story I know
It was not some Lifetime movie show
Yeah, no moon, just stars, nightfall
But we don't need a curtain call
I really don't like to reminisce
We were never in love, not even a kiss
It was simply another night
Seen through a different light
Now all those years have gone and past
You both grew up, way to fast
New friends, new family
Time is such the anomaly

A moment lost, to another time
Driving down the 49
His face is a distant blur
But that car, those stars and the Cure
