Stepsons - Valley Road Lyrics

Back and forth just like a river
Winding from your house to mine
Past the crosses where
Somebody's brother was too drunk to drive
Hands on the handles
It felt like flying 'round the hairpin curves
In your dad's sedan at summer's end
Watching as the colors blur
Do you still see me
When you're out there driving
Are the stars still clear enough
To follow home
Just promise you'll take the turns
Smooth and slow
Like we did once
On Valley Road
Couldn't bring myself to look back
Heading for the highway
Knew you'd hate me for leaving
But there's no way I could've stayed
But nowadays the memories break
Right where they used to bend
And you watch as familiar faces fade
That we once called friends
Do you still see me
When you're out there driving
Are the stars still clear enough
To follow home
Just promise you'll take the turns
Smooth and slow
Like we did once
On Valley Road
Don't let the voices hanging round
Wear your tires down
You'll always be the kid
I used to know
Lit up by halogen lights
On a bright black night
With the wind whipping past
And the blacktop singing below
Promise you'll take the turns
Smooth and slow
Just like we did once
In another life
On Valley Road
