lyrics

did our band break up when you moved out of town
I was off getting bombed at the bar
with a six out of ten, in the middle of the week
and no intentions to take it too far
well winter comes early and without new tires
your van will get stuck in the snow
but there's no one to push and they ain't coming back
so I guess we'll just cancel the show

and the years keep on coming
like an old guitar strumming
out a tune on a few busted strings
and before too long all that's left of the song
is a melody no one will sing

there's some band on stage i hear they're all the rage
i can't listen to a note that they play
he asks me to dance but i'd rather just sit here
and drink til it all goes away
well winter comes early and without new tires
your van will get stuck in the snow
and the wheel will keep spinning in circles and circles
until there's no place left to go

and the years keep on coming
like an old guitar strumming
out a tune on a few busted strings
and before too long all that's left of the song
is a melody no one will sing
