lyrics

and I will play all my songs
I will play every note
from the day that I was born
eight thousand thirty I wrote
and I will play two thousand towns
a twelve minute set every night
until we save the state
we won't ever give up the fight

we're driving thirty in an armored car
our faces dirty and their smudging the window
I rest my head on an acoustic guitar
save up my energy tonight for the rock show

and all of the things that we've done
cannot prepare us for things we are going to do

now all of the sudden we're a band on the run
we're trying hard not to raise any eyebrows
I'm sure they'll thank us when we're finally done
with a ticker tape parade taking up the whole down town

and all of the friends that we've made
would not be friends if they knew we were out robbing banks
from day to day
but there is no other way

and maybe when we're dead
(maybe when were dead)
all the things we said
(all the things we said)
will stick around a float
like buddy holly's ghost
and they won't ever stop
cause I don't want to be
(I don't want to be)
a fish under the sea
(fish under the ocean)
waiting for the day
my life fades away
and floats up to the top

here's my advice to you
do what you do what you
do what you do what you
have got to do
what you've got to do


this is what it feels like to be a race car
this is what it feel like I'm so tall
this is what it feels like I'm so tired
no not at all
this is what it feel like to be a race car
this is what it feels like I'm so small
this is what it feels like I'm so tired
no not at all
this is what it feels like to be a race car
this is what it feels like I'm so tall
this is what it feels like to be a race car
no not at all
not at all (x15)
