[00:18.29] The skies were pure and the fields were green
[00:22.70] And the sun was brighter than it's ever been
[00:26.37] When I grew up with my best friend Kenny
[00:29.74] We were close as any brothers than you ever knew
[00:35.52] It was always summer and the future called
[00:39.71] We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all
[00:44.07] And there was so much left to dream
[00:47.79] And so much time to make it real
[00:52.68] But I can still recall the sting of all
[00:56.83] The tears when he was gone
[01:00.89] They said he crashed and burned I know I'll never learn
[01:04.81] Why any boy should die so young
[01:09.17] We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune
[01:12.90] We got in trouble but we sure got around
[01:17.15] There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark
[01:21.09] I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground
[01:29.27] But it was long ago and it was far away,
[01:33.54] Oh God it seems so very far
[01:37.88] And if life is just a highway,
[01:41.75] Then the soul is just a car
[01:48.65] And objects in the rear view mirror
[01:51.85] May appear closer than they are
[01:56.70] And objects in the rear view mirror
[01:59.90] May appear closer than they are
[02:04.90] And objects in the rear view mirror
[02:07.85] May appear closer than they are
[02:12.85] And objects in the rear view mirror
[02:15.97] May appear closer than they are
[02:51.96] And when the sun descended and the night arose
[02:56.41] I heard my father cursing everyone he knows
[03:00.24] He was dangerous and drunk and defeated
[03:03.34] And corroded by failure and envy and hate
[03:08.55] There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze
[03:13.06] Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees
[03:16.92] And my father's eyes were blank
[03:20.03] As he hit me again and again and again
[03:24.79] I know I still believe he'd never let me leave, I had to run away alone
[03:32.69] So many threats and fears, so many wasted years
[03:36.60] Before my life became my own
[03:40.59] And though the nightmares should be over
[03:44.19] Some of the terrors are still intact
[03:48.14] I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice
[03:51.96] And then he grabs me from behind
[03:54.72] And then he pulls me back
[03:59.63] But it was long ago and it was far away,
[04:03.84] Oh God it seems so very far
[04:08.07] And if life is just a highway,
[04:12.06] Then the soul is just a car
[04:18.43] And objects in the rear view mirror
[04:21.55] May appear closer than they are
[04:26.35] And objects in the rear view mirror
[04:29.49] May appear closer than they are
[04:34.35] And objects in the rear view mirror
[04:37.27] May appear closer than they are
[04:42.17] And objects in the rear view mirror
[04:45.05] May appear closer than they are
[05:47.20] There was a beauty living on the edge of town
[05:51.72] And she always put the top up and the hammer down
[05:55.67] And she taught me everything I'll ever know
[05:59.50] About the mystery and the muscle of love
[06:04.06] The stars would glimmer and the moon would glow
[06:07.69] I'm in the back seat with my Julie like a Romeo
[06:11.78] And the signs along the highway all said,
[06:16.06] Caution! Kids At Play!
[06:19.52] Those were the rights of spring and we did everything
[06:23.51] There was salvation every night
[06:27.40] We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn
[06:31.22] But everything we tried was right
[06:34.97] She used her body just like a bandage,
[06:38.81] She used my body just like a wound
[06:42.62] I'll probably never know where she disappeared
[06:46.31] But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now
[06:50.05] Just like an angel rising up from a tomb
[06:56.17] But it was long ago and it was far away,
[07:00.43] Oh God it seems so very far
[07:04.83] And if life is just a highway,
[07:08.98] Then the soul is just a car
[07:19.88] And objects in the rear view mirror
[07:22.82] May appear closer than they are
[07:27.76] And objects in the rear view mirror
[07:30.89] May appear closer than they are
[07:35.79] And objects in the rear view mirror
[07:39.40] May appear closer than they are
[07:43.91] And objects in the rear view mirror
[07:47.01] May appear closer than they are
[07:51.74] And objects in the rear view mirror
[07:54.61] May appear closer than they are
[07:59.35] And objects in the rear view mirror
[08:02.20] May appear closer than they are
[08:06.74] And objects in the rear view mirror
[08:09.66] May appear closer than they are
[08:14.34] And objects in the rear view mirror
[08:17.17] May appear closer than they are
[08:21.90] And objects in the rear view mirror
[08:24.56] May appear closer than they are
[08:29.32] And objects in the rear view mirror
[08:32.05] May appear closer than they are
[08:52.67] And objects in the rear view mirror
[08:55.39] May appear closer than they are
[09:00.37] And objects in the rear view mirror
[09:03.25] May appear closer than they are
[09:08.20] And objects in the rear view mirror
[09:11.24] May appear closer than they are
[09:16.08] And objects in the rear view mirror
[09:19.12] May appear closer than they are
[09:24.13] And objects in the rear view mirror
[09:26.75] May appear closer than they are
[09:31.70] And objects in the rear view mirror
[09:34.78] May appear closer than they are
[09:41.03] She used her body just like a bandage,
[09:45.11] She used my body just like a wound
[09:50.17] I'll never know where she disappeared
[09:53.80] But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now
