Lyrics

[00:00.63] See I've been here for 28 years.
[00:02.80] Pounding sweat beneath these wheels.
[00:05.60] We tattooed lines beneath our skin.
[00:08.19] No surrender, my Bobby Jean.
[00:11.45]
[00:15.50]
[00:18.00] @ @
[00:21.00]
[00:21.81] See I've been here for 28 years.
[00:24.89] Pounding sweat beneath these wheels.
[00:27.50] We tattooed lines beneath our skin.
[00:30.08] No surrender, my Bobby Jean.
[00:33.00] We've been burned by all our fears.
[00:35.50] Just from growing up around here.
[00:38.40] Our father's factories marked our cars.
[00:41.04] While Eden burned against the stars.
[00:44.11] And Sally said, Sally said.
[00:46.61] I can't take no more regret.
[00:49.24] It cut us deep, into our souls.
[00:51.87] Came and climbed into our bed.
[00:54.64] And Sally said, Sally said.
[00:57.11] Meet me by the River's edge.
[01:00.00] We're going to wash these sins away.
[01:02.69] Or else we won't come back again.
[01:06.12]
[01:16.03] You know I had these ballroom dreams.
[01:19.12] That, as a child, came to me.
[01:22.09] I was a boy in Grandma's arms.
[01:24.73] A mother's pride and a wounded heart.
[01:27.48] And I was full with fiery wonder.
[01:30.00] You wore Audrey Hepburn pearls.
[01:32.93] You were the only one who understood me
[01:36.09] then and the only one who will.
[01:38.53] And Sally said, Sally said.
[01:40.40] I can't take no more regret.
[01:43.51] It cut us deep, into our souls.
[01:46.28] Came and climbed into our bed.
[01:49.02] And Sally said, Sally said.
[01:51.44] Meet me by the River's edge.
[01:54.51] We're going to wash these sins away.
[01:57.22] Or else we won't come back again.
[02:00.50] And now I drive the 101 on the California night.
[02:05.64] And I'm amazed at all the stars beneath that old Hollywood sign.
[02:11.06] And they waltz, ballet up a boulevard, to a place we never kept.
[02:16.65] And I'm not sure if we belong here, if I ever really left, or If I can go home.
[02:23.75]
[02:24.79] And Sally said, Sally said.
[02:27.54] I can't take no more regret.
[02:30.06] It cut us deep, into our souls.
[02:32.79] Came and climbed into our bed.
[02:35.45] And Sally said, Sally said.
[02:38.15] Meet me by the River's edge.
[02:40.88] We're going to wash these sins away.
[02:43.70] Or else we won't come back again.
[02:46.63] No retreat. No regrets.
[02:49.17] No retreat. No regrets.
[02:51.95] No retreat. No regrets.
[02:54.72] Meet me by the river's edge.
[02:57.38] No retreat. No regrets.
[03:00.09] No retreat. No regrets.
[03:02.71] No retreat. No regrets.
[03:05.50] Meet me by the river's edge.
[03:11.93]
