Jim Bryson, The Weakerthans - Freeways In The Frontyard lyrics

It's been a long drive
There's no telling when we will get home
With all our divisions marking the way
We had a fine time
I know now why you need to get going
There's much you can do out there on your own
Like watch the clouds collide and
Cover up the setting sun
Just like we did when we were quite young

And everything's a long drive
Out here on the fringe of the city
Just watching the freeways grow
In our frontyard we had a good time
But, I don't know why we need to bе settling
The places wе found out here in the world
Let's count the rings around our eyes
After staring into the sun
Just like we did when we were quite young
Let's watch the clouds collide and cover
As the day gets done
Some days it feels like I never
Grew up but stayed so young
Made us into a movie with no ending
A pretty good start, a pretty good beginning
It faded before it ever hit the bend
Long way from the end long way from the end
Long way from the end long way from the end
