The View Between Villages

Air in my lungs 'til the road begins As the last of the bugs leave their homes again And I'm splittin' the road down the middle For a minute, the world seems so simple Feel the rush of my blood, I'm 17 again I am not scared of death, I've got dreams again It's just me and the curve of the valley And there is meanin' on earth, I am happy Ah, ah, ah-ah Ah, oh, oh Past Alger Brook Road, I'm over the bridge A minute from home, but I feel so far from it The death of my dog, the stretch of my skin It's all washin' over me, I'm angry again The things that I lost here, the people I knew They got me surrounded for a mile or two The car's in reverse, I'm grippin' the wheel I'm back between villages and everything's still
