We Were Alright

(album: Die Midwestern - 2020)

We hit the road
I said, tell me where you're wanting to be
And that's where we're gonna go
If it takes my life

I looked over at you
Had a smile on my face
And I noticed you were smiling too
Girl, you were smiling too

And for the first time in a long time
We were alright

Turned the radio on
And heard 'Luckenbach, Texas'
And you said it was your favorite song
Girl, you started singing along

Crossed state lines
I couldn't keep my eyes open
So, I stopped to see an old friend of mine
To get some sleep for a while

For the first time in a long time
We were alright

Woke by the phone
Heard your voice say I should come get my things
'Cause you were gonna be home
And you wanted them gone

Like a brick, it hit me
Everything I thought that happened that night
Well, it was only a dream
So I went back to sleep

What else could I do?
Tried to find my way back into that dream
So I could be close to you
So I could be close to you

'Cause for the first time in a long time
We were alright
Oh, for the first time in a long time
We were alright
