lyrics

It's such a long trip coming home by train
And after a couple hours I'm tired of the landscape
So i pulled out a notebook full of songs about the good old days

Those early summer evenings when we would just hang around
Passing out together under trees behind a playground
Unafraid of everything the world was gonna throw our way

We lived in sunlit backyards at the summer's end
With all our old friends, With all our old friends
We hid ourselves away from the sober days ahead
Drinking whiskey in Samson's house again

Do you remember the night we told ghost stories
A few blocks from your house in that patch of trees
We pretended we were in the deepest densest forest, so nobody would hear our secrets

About how scared you were of getting older, how scared we were to leave
So I let you fall asleep there on my shoulder and I kept you company
We kept the world away for a little while

We lived in sunlit backyards at the summer's end
With all our old friends, With all our old friends
We hid ourselves away from the sober days ahead
Drinking whiskey in Samson's house again


And the town where we grew up closes its eyes and falls asleep
As kids pull off from parking lots and the ones they couldn't keep
Like smoke into the sky the things we love will fade away
But at least we'll always have those sunny days
At least we'll always have those sunny days


We lived in sunlit backyards at the summer's end
With all our old friends, With all our old friends
We hid ourselves away from the sober days ahead
Drinking whiskey in Samson's house again
Drinking whiskey in Samson's house again
Drinking whiskey in Samson's house again
