Racing Days - Party of Five Lyrics

Parents said that you're fine but when they lie I know
I don't believe it when I hear you on the phone
So Mom packed us in the van and we all hit the road
Somebody better show me where did sister go
I'm pissing in a Snapple bottle
Don't stop for nothing, pound the throttle
Made it to Western Mass, was beaming when I saw you
Please don't leave us again unless you really got to

And if only it could be so simple now

All the highways seem so safe now
Without you barreling down roads
And every concert is a dead end
Without you screaming in front row
No point in going Fenway Park now
Without you hollering my side
And all these memories I stored up
What if they start to blur with time

No, I won't try to make it simple now
With my glasses off can still see you in a crowd
When the fires sighed they crept into your lungs
You were out there protecting the children left in dust
Did you ever think to stop and take care of yourself
You'd never consider that when someone else needs help
