lyrics

Me and Cal rented a van at 27, left behind gratuities and petty crimes. Our band drew insults from Youngstown to Charlotte. It still beat bleach water and punching time. Cause, oh, some nights we struck like lightning, with the crowd all cherry bombs and misted eyes. And, oh, the sleeping bags and stolen kisses, and the wonder of those unfamiliar skies. Last night I caught the Pageant on Dickinson Avenue, and the undergrads and lifers all swayed in time. We all smiled as the plaster fell around us, and then the conquerors jumped in a rented Econoline. Now Cal’s gone north on a bloodshot mission. Sometimes we talk long distance on his label’s dime. Sometimes I sing in the car, where no one’s listening. It’s a long commute, but I swear I could drive it blind. It’s been too many summers since I’ve seen 27, and I don’t think I can ever leave home again. You can’t leave home. You can’t leave home again.
