Lyrics
Pa turnpike, northbound on a dark night / driving into scranton for a difficult occasion / when you first got your license we were nowhere to be found / I was just a little kid back then but you let me hang around / but we’re older now / farewell youth, i’m afraid I hardly got to know you / I was always hanging out with the older kids / always in a rush, but I was never sure from what / I was always hanging out with the older kids / the grief starts when bumping into friends turned acquaintances / we stumble around the small talk / we break the silence with jameson / but once we were inseparable / we were the only punks in town / we spent every weekend raisin’ hell in the basement of your parents house / but we’re older now / in someones apartment / getting fucked up / to all our favorite records / drinking the cheap stuff / we couldn’t get enough / of growing up / I saw my childhood flash before me in the death of your closed eyes / at your irish wake we celebrate by trying not to cry.
