High School Friend Lyrics by The Menzingers

Hello Exile

2019

[Verse 1]
Raisin' hell in Wayne County
With a copper on our tail
Hopin' that he drives on by me
But knowin' this town, he'll probably throw us in jail
We're both so paranoid in our hometown
There's so much unclaimed baggage at the carousels
And though we're guilty of nothin', we feel like fugitives runnin'
Towards the Great White North or a border town in Mexico
[Pre-Chorus]
There's former you, there's former me
We're tellin' tales of revisionist history
I remember the days we couldn't hardly wait to end
[Chorus]
I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend
Wonderin' where all the good times went
I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend
Wonderin' where all the good times went
[Verse 2]
We left town the minute we turned eighteen
We moved to different corners of the country
Now we come back for holidays and funerals
So much has changed, but Wayne County's still the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Drivin' down 191, there's an old memory of someone
As a little white cross just poppin' out from the bend
[Chorus]
I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend
Wonderin' where all the good times went
I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend
Wonderin' where all the good times went
[Bridge]
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Don't let the overwhelmin' sorrow shred all hopes of tomorrow
Don't let 'em tell ya how to live your life
'Cause they may never understand
But it's okay, because I do
We know all the ups and downs each other have been through
[Chorus]
I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend
Wonderin' where all the good times went
I was gettin' fucked up with a high school friend
Wonderin' where all the good times went
[Outro]
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
