Independence Sky

Highway 17 is getting longer everyday that I drive home this town ain't what it seems
The people at the party talk about how me and my friends
Smoke a little grass oh how the grapevine speaks
The girl we all used to know is still at the bar on a Tuesday night
Telling drunkards how she lives her life
I'm sitting here riding this ole hour glass
Talking about how time seems fast we're getting older every day

Stuck on the corner of where I've been and where I'm going
Just happy to spend another day alive
Late at night the streetlights talk about some things together
There's not a secret this town could ever hide
Under an Independence sky

Half the time my hazy eyes help me make it home through the night
Don't know how I made it to 23
Stevie's selling bill food stamps 50 for 100
Guess he's got more important needs
Raymond's still half asleep in his truck when I drive past
He's never had a chance out of poverty

Stuck on the corner of where I've been and where I'm going
Just happy to spend another day alive
Late at night the streetlights talk about some things together
There's not a secret this town could ever hide
Under an Independence sky

Stuck on the corner of where I've been and where I'm going
Just happy to spend another day alive
Late at night the streetlights talk about some things together
There's not a secret this town could ever hide
Under an Independence sky

I've walked these streets
Flown down every road
But in my heart I know I'll have to go
Times running out for everyone
To spend it here
With every setting sun

I'm dreaming of another life tonight
