First time again

I couldn't see the sunset for the stars in my eyes
never was I more sure of anything in my life
I was leaving New Mexico in the middle of the night
There's a picture of my sister and me leather jacket thumbs in my jeans
my baby face don't even look angry much less mean
Back then you just could not tell me anything
scared hell no, stupid maybe but not enough to stand in my way
it's all different today I was living for a song in my heart
that was only about to begin
but you could never sing it for the first time again

You leave yourself wide open, when you stand so proud
never was there a kid more alone i a crowd
I wonder where oh where all my old friends now
Joey said goodbye yesterday were his shades fogged up with thears
I bet he was just laughing right in the face of fear
knowing nothing even came close before they broke loose that year

scared hell no...

Still in love with the highway for all the vision that it's shown
but you lose an hour leaving the desert on the way back to your new home
what you could do with those hours now just cuts you to the bone
time din't used to mean nothing but a clock hanging on the wall
or counting quarters to make some long distance pay phone call
no it's carved its own designs into the faces of us all

scared hell no...
