Cm                     Fm
Took a drive into the sprawl
            D#                          G#
To find the house where we used to stay in
Gm                 Cm             A# G#
Couldn't read the number in the dark
                A#                   Gm
You said let's save it for another day

Took a drive into the sprawl
To find the places we used to play
It was the loneliest day of my life
You’re talking at me, but I’m still far away

Let’s take a drive through the sprawl
Through these towns they built to change
Then you said the emotions are dead
It’s no wonder that you feel so estranged

The cops shone their lights
On the reflectors of our bikes
Said “Do you kids know what time it is?”
Well, sir, it’s the first time
I felt like something is mine
Like I have something to give

The last defender of the sprawl
Said “Well, where do you kids live?”
Well, sir, if you only knew what the answer’s worth
I’ve been searching every corner of the earth
