Tehachapi Lyrics

Ten Minutes

Away from growing up

Adulthood was always waiting

On the next street

One minute

Away from missing your best

Your best chance of living in the moment

Or chance to do something great

We were all about us

Just trying to have fun

And we'll never die and

We'll never get caught

It was our glory days

Back when I wrote this song

The chords are the same but

The words are all wrong

It seemed everyone

Dreamed of seeing more

More than this tiny town

They grew up in

And we were the blood

Spreading life through the quiet town

Riding these veins down to

The last breath

Went and moved away

We were all about us

And we go where we want

And we'll never die and

We'll never get caught

It was our glory days

Back when I wrote this song

The chords are the same but

The words are all wrong

And we all talked about

Getting the hell out of that place

Now how I long for

Those days

And we never felt

That we'd have to grown up

We'd move away and never

Go back

Now when I play these notes

It takes me back

To where I heard it first

Before I found these words

We were all about us

Just trying to have fun

We did what we wanted

In the desert sun
