Nine o'clock walkin' in the door
Tired from another day
Twenty-six feels all to young
To be livin' life from pay to pay
Tom the Baker sat next to me
With that same old look on his face, and he said
I wouldn't be much a friend to you, to let you go on killin' time this way cause
You can't go wastin' all your days
Down in Sugar Hollow, so
My advice to you my friend
Is to get out while you can, cause
You only got this life to live
Till we all go out the same, it ain't
It ain't a dress rehearsal kid
You take two steps on the train
Then you're singin'
Well
Two months later we were headed north
Three boys and a case of booze
We broke down between the exit signs
Just south of Syracuse, and we said
Bottoms up yeah we hopped the truck
Turned to our walkin' shoes
Didn't bother even lockin' up
We left nothin' there to lose, yeah you know
You can't go wastin' all your days
Down in Sugar Hollow, so
My advice to you my friend
Is to get out while you can, cause
You only got this life to live
Till we all go out the same, it ain't
It ain't a dress rehearsal kid
You take two steps on the train
Yeah, you know it
Yeah, we
We hit ground in a familiar town
With a few friends there to boot
Had a plan yeah we started a band
Called it The Northern Route
Worked in bars to support our cause
Just to hang around and brew
Brought a keg to every show
And raised hell for a time or two, yes you know
You can't go wastin' all your days
Down in Sugar Hollow, so
My advice to you my friend
Is to get out while you can, cause
You only got this life to live
Till we all go out the same, it ain't
It ain't a dress rehearsal kid
You take two steps on the train, yeah you sing
You can't go wastin' all your days
Down in Sugar Hollow, so
My advice to you my friend
Is to get out while you can, cause
You only got this life to live
Till we all go out the same, it ain't
It ain't a dress rehearsal kid
You take two steps on the train, yeah you know
You can't go wastin' all your days
Down in Sugar Hollow, so
My advice to you my friend
Is to get out while you can, cause
You only got this life to live
Till we all go out the same, it ain't
It ain't a dress rehearsal kid
You take two steps
Two steps on the train
Two steps on the train
Two steps on the train
Two steps on the train
You take two steps on the train
