lyrics

This is an ode to the one who always got me
From point A to point B
This is an ode to my partner in crime
On those nights out exploring the backstreets
This is an ode to the one that was there
As I headed off to college for the first time, hit the county line
And it's an ode to my way back home
Always there when I needed an escape

A silver lining in this cold dark world
A Fortress of Solitude for me to call my own
A song on the radio that might reboot my dreams
It's all gone
And I'm off on one last ride

300,000 miles crossed
And countless battles won and lost
She's beaten and battered but she'd still run
To the end of the earth and probably beyond
Driving way too fast
Coasting way too slow
Falling in love in a 45-mile-an-hour town
Ain't possible unless you're capable of both

A silver lining in this cold dark world
A Fortress of Solitude for me to call my own
A song on the radio that might reboot my dreams
It's all gone
And I'm off on one last ride

We've been down every street
From Thunder Road to Desolation Row
We've screamed through every line
From "screen doors slams" to "no direction home"
The red light's turning green
And now I know it's really time to go
The miles that we rolled
