Richie and Austin are often alone for the ride
+
They don't say a lot, but they know every inch of this drive
+
If these trees started talking, I bet you they'd only talk shit
+
'Cause we never do anything real, we just talk about it
+
Ending of August, the bugs are just starting to die
+
All the neighbors are voting for someone who wins every time
+
And I thought getting older meant knowing it's too late to try
+
And I tried getting sober, I swear I did better this time
+
Ooh, hm
+
Ooh, hm
+
Ooh, hm
+
Ooh, hm
+
Oh, everything you see out here will die
+
Oh, it's a matter of time
+
'Til it's fields of ice and reflector lights
+
'Til it's our town, mm
+
And anything you need, I will provide
+
A ride home or an alibi
+
I know the traffic light you can speed right by
+
'Cause the camera's down
+
And I follow New York plates to the county line
+
Ignore 'em when they wave on 89
+
The minute that September hits
+
I'm going off my medicine, oh
+
Late August angst and a pointless night
+
Oh, and the feeling of being alive
+
For the first time in a long time
+
Oh, we're a drawing of a place
+
We're a photo on the fridge
+
They mined copper for years
+
Oh, there was nothing left to dig
+
It's a place where most kids
+
Just grow up and have kids, who grow up and have kids
+
Who build homes for the rich
+
Oh, everything you see out here will die
+
Oh, it's a matter of time
+
'Til it's fields of ice and reflector lights
+
'Til it's our town
+
'Til it's our town
+
'Til it's our town
+
And it's our town
+
'Cause it's our town
