lyrics

You, me and the open road ain't sounding too bad
so I'll get my head back down in the game
never getting used to flying solo
with dent on the chair to hold your place
and it's not that far
from where we last saw each other
jacking getaway cars
you told me to run you’ll cover

Your scents still stuck on the leather
and your hair intertwined
took my hand and promised forever
and I left my world behind
but as you sat there bleeding
all over my favourite shirt
I realised you're all that I needed
no money can insure my heart

Now my head's not far
from this dark place I've discovered
since you've been gone
the loneliness was uncovered
now I'm miles out
and I can feel a train wreck
pouring out
I'll drink until I'm legless

A half full two seater
and a broken heart
a lost love and 48 litres
but nowhere to end or start

And all I'm left with
this bag of cash is worthless to me
and the memories
of sleeping out round down the backstreets
defenceless
no bullets left or finding my feet
cos' I'm missing
the only thing I really need

I'm left with
cos this bag of cash is worthless to me
are the memories
of camping out round down the backstreets
defenceless
no bullets left or finding my feet
cos I'm missing
the only thing I really need

I'm left with
this bag of cash weren't worth it to me
the memories
had our first kiss in your dad's backseat
I'm helpless
cos' I know you're there waiting for me
and I'm coming
home dont you worry just wait and see
