lyrics

you want the upscale
downtown new york lights
you got your charcoal
success starved eyes
you got your art school finished
put beneath your feet
your record player playing
only bobby d.

you sing
"if i could only get a chance
to get away
all i want is just a chance
to show them what i got."

spotlight come
take me away
river why don't you slip
into my veins
take me to a place where
i can be
free

remember when we said
we'd be friends for life
that promise slipped out of our hands
like dark to light
remember when we told
stories beneath the sky
of who we were and where we'd been
and where we'd wanna go.

you praised yourself
saying, "i'm such a success"
saying the one that wins
is the one that's dressed
to walk the line that's paved with
carpet red
careful now boy you got a swollen head

pride is not what make's
it to the mountain Top
pride will never get you to
that mountain top

we want everything
but don't want to pay for it

a father's eyes are filled
with tears
he gave his daughter away
upon an altar in december
weather outside was rain
mother does dishes in the sink
in her mind is a plane
that held the body of a boy
that served and sailed away
into the sky
left her hands
his body in the ground
his grave echoes with the truth
that all we have is now
don't throw it all away
