Glory Bound

used to be us on saturday night getting wasted, telling lies laughing hard enough to make me cry we were reckless, foolish kings wouldn’t want to change a thing but I wasn’t man enough to say goodbye I don’t know who turned away clipped the wings on feet of clay never met a grown up who could fly

you and me buddy, flying free buddy we were never coming down back when we were glory bound

we were jumping off the Warren bridge just like fools and heroes did on the day I almost up and died you dove in like a diving duck took my hand and pulled me up you wouldn’t let the river take my life I walked across that bridge today I looked down and saw my grave losing you cuts me like a knife

just like Icarus those wings were not enough

some things are better left unsaid that glory road came to an end just like a bottle on the shelf I miss you but I’m looking for myself

just like Icarus those wings were not enough to keep us off the ground
