Archie

Hard to see where we're going
Outside looks like snowing
But it's just fog
And we'll just drive along
It's alright with Archie by my side

Archie is bold and tells the truth
And he'll tell me what to do
If things go wrong,
We'll just drive along
It'll be alright with Archie by side

Said this van's older than I was
Used to take it out when he was tired of
The folks and their rules, all their ties and private schools
He just left, and no one cared where he went

Mother said please stay with us
Your no-good uncle's dangerous
But he ain't done nothing wrong
And we'll just drive along
It'll be alright with Archie by my side

Hardly know where we're heading
Colored red by the sun setting
It doesn't last too long
There won't be light until next dawn
But it's alright, says Archie by my side

The dark safe cuz no one looks
The dark is safe for a couple of crooks
Like you and me
Boy just you wait and see
What I got in store
You won't look back, that I'm sure

Quit your shaking boy
And let's get back
Let's get back to business
Won't get much done with you shivering like this
Didn't want a kid to drag around
I thought you was more of a man by now

It's hard to say what I'm thinking
When he's at the wheel and when he's drinking
I know he didn't mean me harm
But I'm best off back with my mom
It would be alright, If could swallow my damn pride
