Everyone's Summer of '95 Songtext

von Iron & Wine

They heard a car sputter away too soon
Me and the boys from the billiards room
Found a shady tree
Halfway home and going nowhere

Casey was asked for his favorite joke
Fluttered away just before he spoke
But he came to me
Halfway home and going nowhere

All I can tell you is how we spent the time
Friends are made in the strangest ways
And I'll miss them by and by

Late in the day and the dust kicked up
Me and the boys with the windows shut
And the music on
Halfway home and going nowhere

Everyone's summer of '95
Vivid and there till the tape had died
On our favorite song
Halfway home and going nowhere

Hitching a ride with a crusty girl
Me and the boys stole a tie dye shirt
And a kiss or two
Halfway home and going nowhere

Casey mixed words with the mud flap guy
Smothered and bruised in the neon lights
And we all went down
Halfway home and going nowhere

All I can tell you is how we spent the time
Friends are made in the strangest ways
And I'll miss them by and by

Back on our feet and the car backs in
Me and the boys at the billiards room
Coming back on beer
Halfway home and going nowhere

Casey will crack up, a fight broke lose
I'm in the back thinking I must choose
But I like it here
Halfway home and going nowhere
