Evergreen by Michigan Rattlers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well the sun is beating down the black top
My hands are aching, my head is falling off
And I can't seem to sleep past nine
Crying eyes over wasted time
And the older I get the more I see
If you walk out the door there's no re-entry
So where do I stay and when do I go?
These are the questions I really wanna know

[Chorus]
So now I'm burning down the avenue
At a hundred miles an hour
Oh I'm burning down the avenue
And I'm scared I ain't got much longer
With you

[Verse 2]
And back to the place where I grew up
With stacks of books and the TV volume up
I always dreamt of a bigger place
Now I'm wondering why I wanted to escape this
Cause my old dog ain't here no more
Just sitting on the shelf with the ones that came before him
Yeah so now just sit down and watch a film with me
I need you here desperately
[Chorus]
And now I'm burning down the avenue
At a hundred miles an hour
Oh I'm burning down the avenue
And I'm scared I ain't got much longer
Oh I'm scared I ain't got much longer

[Verse 3]
And well I close my eyes and I see everything
See an old used car and a broken bike in an overgrown yard
I see my friend walking through the field to the evergreen
Where we'll drink too much and cry about everything

[Chorus]
And now I'm burning down the avenue
At a hundred miles an hour
Oh I'm burning down the avenue
And I'm scared I ain't got much longer
Oh I'm scared I ain't got much longer
With you
