The View Between Villages

Air in my lungs 'til the road begins

As the last of the bugs leave their homes again

And I'm splittin' the road down the middle

For a minute, the world seemed so simple

Feel the rush of my blood, I'm 17 again

I am not scared of death, I've got dreams again

It's just me and the curve of the valley

And there is meanin' on earth, I am happy

Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah, ooh, ooh

Passed Alger Brook Road, I'm over the bridge

A minute from home, but I feel so far from it

The death of my dog, the stretch of my skin

It's all washin' over me, I'm angry again

The things that I lost here, the people I knew

They got me surrounded for a mile or two

The car's in reverse, I'm grippin' the wheel

I'm back between villages, and everything's still
