Our Year

(album: Twelfth - 2020)

I remember everything
Lying here awake
Way off of the interstate
Down 848
The devil saw those idle hands
And he knew just what to do
I could barely see the road ahead
I only had eyes for you

I disengaged
And whispered in your ear
This will be our year

Hiding in those piney woods
We grew up nice and slow
Fumbling through the undergrowth
Where the moon is scared to go
But East Texas has a dark side
And that darkness has a pull
Vices make you hungry
And you never can get full

But we made it out
Now we're in the clear
And this will be our year

I remember everything
Like it was yesterday
Time will have its way
Time will have its way
I remember everything
I wish I didn't though
Why do you have to go?
Don't you know?
This will be our year

This will be our year
This will be our year
This will be our year
This will be our year
