Rancid - Black Derby Jacket
Books on emerson books on thoreau.
But all I read was maps of the road.
And I was three thousand miles away from you.
All the while I was twenty-two.
What do you do to know who you are?
The best way for me to drop out on tour.
You went to Upstate NxY (New York) to go to school.
To secure the roll with your parents.
I got a new perspective on you.
All the good and bad that we went through.
I know you better than you know you.
'Cause I got a new perspective on you.
I never needed much, I never liked to loom.
But a gesture can get me from across the room.
The first night we talked until while the sun caught up.
Transparent people melting all around us.
You left in a plane, I left in a van.
Played nightclub house-parties and auditoriums.
Saw Germany England Italy with my band.
I know you better than your new friends.
I got a new perspective on you.
All the good and bad that we went through.
I know you better than you know you.
'Cause I got a new perspective on you.
Ford Econdlane September '93.
Driving 10 hours until my eyes are blurry.
3 packs of Winstons and a bag of seeds.
Tapes of "x" and a thermos of coffee.
6 weeks on and 10 days off.
Then I go back on the road for another show.
This is all that I've ever done.
Girl I got nothing to fall back on.
