Risen Lyrics by Cross Country Driver

The New Truth

0

[Verse 1]
I was born within sight of the Pacific Ocean
Voices in the water sang to me
Southwest corner of California
Like a jewel by the sea
Raised in the arms of the American dream
Said my little prayer every night
I had faith because I figured everything
Would be alright
[Refrain]
Yeah, everything would be alright
[Chorus]
If we hold on and we stay strong
Keep our friends close and our enemies closer
And hold on
[Verse 2]
My friends and I werе drinkin' by the time we got to high school
Borеd or stoned out of our minds
But I can't remember
What we tried so hard to hide from
So I quit the bad stuff, man, it was easy
I went ahead and quit a thousand times
If I had ten cents for everything I messed up
I'd be drowning in a goddamn river of dimes
[Chorus]
But I hold on, try to stay strong
Keep my friends close and my enemies closer
And hold on
[Post-Chorus]
It's a long road until we get back home
Keep drivin' on 'til the memory's gone
It's a long road
[Bridge]
I kept on truckin' through all the shitty luck with you
Got to say it hurt a bit
It was just me brewin' up excuses for screwin' up
And luck was the least of it
Keep driving on 'til the memory's gone
Luck was the least of it
Keep driving on 'til the memory's gone
Put the pedal to the metal 'til the memory's gone
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
So hold on and stay strong
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
And hold on
[Post-Chorus]
It's a long road until we get back home
Keep drivin' on 'til the memory's gone
It's a long road
[Outro]
Hold on, it's a long road (Keep driving on 'til the memory's gone)
Hold on, it's a long road (Keep driving on 'til the memory's gone)
Hold on, hold on
Hold on
