Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels. I don’t know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels. I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through. Looking into their eyes I see them running too. Running on - running on empty Running on - running blind ---

Now he’s a man, he spell M-A-N…man. Was it brass in your pocket? Or maybe it was his pocket. That boy’s, got rockets in his pockets. Or maybe it was magic beans.
