College Park Blues Lyrics

Exposed College Park Blues

Hot summer storms the rain falls on my skin
I felt the warmth come in
I remember everything

Drive through the night the window rolled right down
The darkness quiet now
Pass through another town

Four wheels to call at home, for once at peace here
with the life I know
By sunrise i'll be gone
The train storms through to Idaho, sat by the tracks I
lay down and I know
What it means, to finally be right here

And so, did you ever really see, just how much this
meant to me
There's now a distant memory that I call home
Hey, from Chicago to DC, you know I want you here with
me
But you're a distant memory that I call home

Lights under stars with reggae coming through
An old man sings the blues
Just for a buck or two

Car park conversations until 2am
Shared lives with new found friends
Then on the road again

These nights they come and go but I won't forget the
world that I was shown
With everything I need

Last call's an hour ago but we're still standing never
gonna slow
No our lives won't go to waste

And so, did you ever really see, just how much this
meant to me
There's now a distant memory that I call home
Hey, from Chicago to DC, you know I want you here with
me
But you're a distant memory that I call home

From the coast to county lines we saw culture and class
divides
And things I never, thought that I would see
Through the clouds of dust and rain we drove to see
another day
Til we say, our last goodbyes

Drive through the night the windows rolled right now
The darkness quiet now, pass through another town
Sounds of the interstate send me to sleep
The sounds of travelling
Come on and sing for me.
