The skies were pure and the fields were green
Am Bb
The sun was brighter than it's ever been
Dm7 Am/E
When I grew up with my best friend Kenny
Bbmaj7 C
We were close as any brothers than you ever knew
It was always summer and the future called
We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all
There was so much left to dream
And so much time to make it real
Dm Am7/E
But I can still recall the sting of all
Bb C
The tears when he was gone
Dm
They said he crashed and burned
Am7/E Bb C
I know I'll never learn why any boy should die so young
Gm7 C
We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune
Dm Bb
We got in trouble but we sure got around
Gm7 C
There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark
Dm Dm/C Bb
I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground
Am7 Dm
But it was long ago and it was far away
Bb C
Oh God it seems so very far
Am7 Dm
And if life is just a highway
Bb C C7
Then the soul is just a car
F Gsus2 F/A Bb F
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
Gsus2 F/A F
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
Gm F/A Bb Csus F
They are
Dm Bb C7sus
And when the sun descended and the night arose
I heard my father cursing everyone he knows
He was dangerous and drunk and defeated
And corroded by failure and envy and hate
There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze
Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees
And my father's eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and again
I know I still believe he'd never let me leave, I had to run away alone
So many threats and fears, so many wasted years before my life became my own
And though the nightmares should be over
Some of the terrors are still intact
I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice
And then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are...

There was a beauty living on the edge of town
And she always put the top up and the hammer down
And she taught me everything I'll ever know
About the mystery and the muscle of love
The stars would glimmer and the moon would glow
I'm in the back seat with my Julie like a Romeo
And the signs along the highway all said, "Caution! Kids At Play!"
Those were the rights of spring and we did everything
There was salvation every night
We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn
But everything we tried was right
She used her body just like a bandage, she used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared
But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now
Just like an angel rising up from a tomb
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are...
She used her body just like a bandage, she used my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared
But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now
Gsus2 F/Bb Bbmaj7
