I-65
He was eighteen, lost in distant day dreams, waiting for the moment time would stop
I was heartless, standing in a ripped up prom dress
Oh, somehow he saw somebody I'm not
April flies by, lives become intertwined, I never see the good when I have it
June turns into July, I didn't say goodbye, but I left like it was a habit
So, if you ever want to see the Smokies, I'd gladly show you around
And if you ever find yourself lonely, you know where I can be found
In a little bar off of Broadway, I've seen your face in every crowd
I often wonder if it was worth it, and I turn the music down
There go my doubts filling the silence, I can't stand the sound
He was twenty, merely holding on to memories, for the sake of just continuing on
How I adored his smile, more than open mics and vinyl,
Still I chose the darkness over the dawn
Always growing, always staying unknowing,
Saying "Well, I should be going" when life gets too nice
Pushing myself towards the wall, I'm my greatest downfall, but I've learned that it's simply the price
'Cause if you ever want to see the Smokies, I'd gladly show you around
And if you ever find yourself lonely, you know where I can be found
In a little bar off of Broadway, I've seen your face in every crowd
I often wonder if it was worth it, and I turn the music down
Pipe dreams, slate clean, nothing was so out of reach
Years pass, always missing things that you already had
Well, if you're ever in town,
And you want to see the Smokies, I'd gladly show you around
And if you ever find yourself lonely, you know where I can be found
In a little bar off of Broadway, I've seen your face in every crowd
I often wonder if it was worth it, and I turn the music down
There go my doubts filling the silence, I can't stand the sound
