Lyrics
Raisin’ hell in wayne county / with a copper on our tail / hoping that he drives on by me / but knowing this town he’ll probably throw us in jail / we’re both so paranoid in our hometown / there’s so much unclaimed baggage at the carousels / and though we’re guilty of nothing / we feel like fugitives running / towards the great white north or a border town in mexico / there’s former you, there’s former me / we’re telling tales of revisionist history / ah, remember the days we couldn’t hardly wait to end? / I was getting fucked up with a high school friend / wondering where all the good times went / we left town the minute we turned 18 / we moved to different corners of the country / now we come back for holidays and funerals / so much has changed but wayne county is still the same / driving down 191, theres an old memory of someone / as a little white cross just popping out from the bend / I was getting fucked up with a high school friend / wondering where all the good times went / don’t let the overwhelming sorrow shred all hopes of tomorrow / don’t let ‘em tell ya how to live your life / ‘cause they may never understand / but its okay because I do / we know all the ups and downs each other have been through.
