Sweden
Now I tell all the young kids that the journey ain't a sin When you're aged it don't matter where you're going it's where you've been And we talked of this on river sides with a half bottle of gin And a quarter of absinth from your Swedish cousins And the sea it tore away our youth
We sailed to the island where the band they lay still Stripped the timber from the outside of our house on the hill And we dove into the ocean that gave our bodies a chill Felt the warmth of the sunset in the morning when it fell And the dog with no legs oh how he made us cry
We walked to the tavern that fit four people by and by Hell I never believed we'd make it out of there alive But we raced a little boat out to the oceans mouth so wide When your father he went crazy and there was no place left to hide I grew to be a man with the incoming tide
With no phones to call back home to keep our asses in the clear Had to rumble with the trouble or we'd tear with the fear So we scaled the highest mountain with bare feet and bloody hands Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Throwing stones was the pastime for the bored and despaired The liquor wasn't strong enough to keep us there
We stood beside the highway repairing olden stolen cars Drinking beers that were outlawed in counties near and far Then the time came we couldn't stay in Norway anymore So we packed up the Chevy headed east along the shore I never did quite get to say goodbye
Then you and I ran side by side clearing canyons the sea had made As the flags from the patriots rang like bells as they waved And Joel sang with should he never said that he was brave But we saw the strongest love between two brothers never fades Only we can know how they both will never die
And I'll love you forever my dearest brother, kindest friend This old journey keeps on going though it stalls it never ends We'll fly through time and never say goodbye
