Midway Road Lyrics

Once all our history is safely in the background

And we can finally stop to reflect

All the innocence lost or troubles found

Just retracing any of our old regret

Well the uncut grass still grows a little taller

All around, along, and inside

The old abandoned car and house

Of the late Reverend Burnside

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

We were all just a half a mile up on Midway Road

Growing up to find ourselves

And bound to learn the ropes

Half a mile up Midway road

Just half a mile up Midway road

There's a thousand altogether good memories

Though I tend to trip o'er the handful of sad

Devil drug his claw across that tiny neighborhood

But looking back it wasn't all so bad

But the uncut grass still grows a little taller

All around, along, and inside

The old abandoned car and house

Of the late Reverend Burnside

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

We were all just a half a mile up on Midway Road

Growing up to find ourselves

And bound to learn the ropes

Half a mile up Midway road

Just half a mile up Midway road

We were all just a half a mile up on Midway Road

We were all just a half a mile up on Midway Road

Growing up to find ourselves

And bound to learn the ropes

Half a mile up Midway road

Just half a mile up Midway road

Just half a mile up Midway road

Those childhoods all held on a street

Barely wide enough for two cars to drive

But may the Lord forgive all that did transgress

And bless all those still alive

Just half a mile up Midway road
