Sammy Arriaga - Chucks on a Wire Lyrics

"Chucks On A Wire" -
(Sammy Arriaga/Daniel Horon Henig/Johnathan Renn Anderson/Ethan Brewington)

V1:
Cant help but slow down by those power-lines,
Nah nothing changes in this town, its always the same,
Everybody else just keeps on driving by,
But when I look up, Its Friday Night at the Football game...

Pre1:
Our team was down by thirty,
You & I weren't even worried,
Cause we wanted to leave anyway...
To that empty street we danced on,
Wearin' out those soles all night long,
I remember it like yesterday...

Hook:
We wrote our names & we tied em together,
Spun em around, let em fly, Thinkin' that it was forever,
At least something held on through the weather,
We shot for the stars but couldn't get no higher,
Than chucks on a wire...

V2:
I can't believe they've been up there so long,
A memory of us up in the sky stitched in black & white,
Can't remember where exactly we went wrong but I,
Can't help but smile everytime I'm passing by...

Pre2:
Cause I'm back behind those bleachers,
Your hands underneath my t-shirt,
Didn't care about watching the game,
& that empty street we danced on,
Wearin' out those soles all night long,
I remember it like yesterday...

(Break)

Final Hook:
We wrote our names & we tied em together,
Spun em around, let em fly, Thinkin' that it was forever,
At least something held on through the weather,
We shot for the stars but couldn't get no higher,
Sometimes I wonder if you still remember,
Walkin' home barefoot & laughing cause we didn't know better,
At least something held on through the weather,
We shot for the stars but couldn't get no higher,
Than chucks on a wire...
