lyrics

Years went by and
we go older remember the days, when gas was sold
for $1.50 a gallon oh how things have changed, like those stylish fads
and the look on your face

when you see me for the first time in years
we swore we'd never end up here

well I won't be alone, if its gone, I'll move on

its time to leave, while my eyes are still dry
its time to leave while my head is held high

time to bolt, time to bail, time to go, where to?
well I really don't know

I'm gone so long, see you soon
Up up and away like a rising balloon
I'm just stupid enough to leave you behind,
though you're nothing like I have found or will find

hug me now because you might loose your chance
‘cause I am crouched in my sprinting stance

time to bolt, time to bail, time to go
'cause I'll let you get way too close

I'm gone, so long, see you soon,
Up up and away like a rising balloon
I'm just crazy enough to pack up and leave,
taking all that you have trusted and confided in me

years went by and
we go older remember the days, when gas was sold for $1.50 a gallon
oh how things have changed, like those stylish fads
and the look on your face
when you see me for the first time in years
we swore we'd never end up here

but I won't be alone.

I've always loved this song, so when I saw Lauren recorded a cover...I just had to listen! Now I can't seem to stop listening, and it's stuck in my head constantly. Safe to say this version is one of my favorite songs. Ever. jac6285

This is an amazing album, top-notch from first track to last. It's a rarity that I like an entire album, without reservation and right away, but Quitters makes the cut. B. Bullock
