Five State Drive Lyrics by Less Than Jake

Hello Rockview (25th Anniversary Edition)

1998

[Verse 1]
Got on the 47, transfer to the 89
Left town eastbound, passed all the city signs
You know it's hard to leave your past behind
As I pass the crummy bars and beat-up cars
Nothing will change your mind

[Chorus]
By now, I think I've found
Things changed just don't look that way to me
Or it just looks that way to me
By now, think I've found
Things changed just look re-arranged to me
Never looked that way to me

[Verse 2]
At half-past 7, now I'm on the 95
Sick of malls, and alcohol, just passed the next state line
I know it's hard to leave your past behind
As I think the corner creeps and dirty streets
Nothing will change my mind
There's no turning back this time

[Chorus]
By now, I think I've found
Things changed just don't look that way to me
Or it just looks that way to me
By now, think I've found
Things changed just look re-arranged to me
Never looked that way

[Bridge]
And when going up's like going on
And never going back now, it's just like giving up, yean
And when going off's like going on
It feels like going nowhere, going nowhere fast

[Chorus]
By now, I think I've found
Things changed just don't look that way to me
Or it just looks that way to me
By now, think I've found
Things changed just look re-arranged to me
Never looked that way to me

[Outro]
By now, I think I've found
Things changed just don't look that way to me
By now, I think I've found
Things changed just don't look that way to me
By now, think I've found
Things changed just look re-arranged to me
Never looked that way to me
