Grease Stains

As we drove out of the town
You leaned your head into the sound of my heart beating
(Yeah) You wore your Sunday dress with heels
And I looked like some guy who's tired of living

Did you hold your momma, kiss goodbye?
Don't leave that front porch candle light
Tonight we'll let the moonlight be our guide

I spent the whole week grinding down, I'm beaten
I'm ready to get loud
There's a place out by the tracks where there's live music
And a bit of a crowd

It reminds me of a simple time, the television black and white
The juke box playing off nickels and dimes

I still recall the days we used to walk home down on Randolph Street
In the night we'd tell a tale of better fortunes to land on our feet

And the radio sang to us like an anthem-strong October night
That melody would run through us like wine

Grease stains remind me of adolescence
I saved only the best memories
I wounded, healed, and the bleeding let me last forever

I could never count the times I watched my mother cry herself to sleep
My father worked his hands to stone, my family never showed defeat

We dreamt upon a promise land, my brother and sister'd lend a hand
And I learned a thing or two about being a man

Grease stains remind me of adolescence
I saved only the best memories
I wounded, healed, and the bleeding let me last forever

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
1-2-3-4

Grease stains remind me of adolescence
I saved only the best memories

Grease stains remind me of adolescence
I saved only the best memories
I wounded, healed, and the bleeding let me last forever
(Yeah) I wounded, healed, and the bleeding let me last forever
(Woah-oh-oh)
I wounded, healed, and the bleeding let me last forever
