201 Melrose Avenue

(album: Highway 99 - 2022)

The little bar over on the corner
Stays open till 3 o'clock
They say they got the coldest beer in town
And we've spent the night singing' with the juke box
You'd grab my hand when we were leaving
We'd make out trying to make it home
Leaned up against the parking meter
Can't believe where time has gone
Yeah it's been way too long

I stood underneath that traffic light
At least a half a million times
Stared at my phone so long I outta' know
That number for the rest of my life
A few drinks in
And I'm right back to when
This whole world revolved around me and you
Apartment #24 201 Melrose Avenue

I'm somewhere down in Mexico
Feels like I'm light years from there
Postcard in the drawer of my hotel
Kinda got me wishing you were here
I had more that I wanted to then
The waters warm and the sky is blue
Been meaning to call or write you a letter
But just didn't seem like the thing to do

I stood underneath that traffic light
At least a half a million times
Stared at my phone so long I outta' know
That number for the rest of my life
A few drinks in
And I'm right back to when
This whole world revolved around me and you
Apartment #24 201 Melrose Avenue

If I could turn it all back
I'd go back
I know the way like the back of my hand
You and me and the memories
And the good times we used to have
I'm there no matter where I am

I stood underneath that traffic light
At least a half a million times
Stared at my phone so long I outta' know
That number for the rest of my life
A few drinks in
And I'm right back to when
This whole world revolved around me and you
Apartment #24 201 Melrose Avenue
