Monte Carlo

I wish I followed the smoke out the window
Instead of chasing down freedom in my dad's Monte Carlo
Spent my money as fast as I could go
Didn't have to think about paying rent tomorrow
Twenty bucks on the dash, and he'd hit the gas
Said I can have it, if I can reach it
Now it feels like a memory I borrowed
Just chasing down freedom in my dad's Monte Carlo

Sometimes that voice in my head sounds just like radio silence
In the back of my mind you're always sitting there smiling
I can't drive fast enough to forget about it
Everything you've been looking for I hope you found it

I wanna cry on a shoulder I know
But I'm stuck in between these two lines
I hit the road, guess it shows what I know
Always leaving what I need behind

Oh before my heart broke, Monte Carlo
Wanted to be rich cause we were so broke
Thought that we'd be famous, we were almost
Tell me where the time goes, when the bars close
Monte Carlo

Red lights are crossroads when there's nobody to follow
Pray for salvation, or you beg for survival
In space or on stage we were dreaming about Apollo
Dreams don't last forever, it's a bitter pill to swallow
Twenty bucks on the dash, hit the gas
I can have it if I can reach it

Oh I got my heart broke, monte carlo
Wanted to be rich cause we were so broke
Thought that we'd be famous, we were almost
Tell me where does time go, when the bars close

I wanna cry on a shoulder I know
But I'm stuck in between these two lines
I hit the road, guess it shows what I know
Always leaving what I need behind

Oh before my heart broke, Monte Carlo
Wanted to be rich cause we were so broke
Thought that we'd be famous, we were almost
Tell me where the time goes, when the bars close
Monte Carlo
