We lost a great guy yesterday, taken way too soon, and he introduced me and so many others to AM! back in the day. He drove me to see these guys play in Chicago 20 years ago. So much of who I am was shaped by this music, and I thank you, my friend, for introducing me to punk rock and just for being the best kind of person the world has ever seen. I love you and I miss you and I don't know why it had to be you but you will never be forgotten. RIP.
Please tell me why we couldn't stay Don't let this feeling ever go away Let this memory forever be inside of me Through every hour of every day With the company of these friends We drive on through the night We're carried by the wheels of armageddon We're gonna force ourselves to live Thankful it's hurt more than we've ever felt It's just our means to an end [Chorus:] Please tell me why we couldn't stay Don't let this feeling ever go away Let this memory forever be inside of me Through every hour of every day With the company of these friends We drive on through the night We're carried by the wheels of armageddon And honestly we were armed with our best intentions Maybe those intentions alone Are just enough to get us anywhere but here In the middle of america Six cylinders will take us further than any president The same promises that we forgot the last time There's no difference between staying and a bullet in the head [Chorus:] Maybe it's gonna come from the radio Or the next 8 hour day Driving to the next town A collect call home to your best friend We are the company we keep We could live off of dumpsters if we have to Sell our blood by the pint to make rent This kind of dignity doesn't come easy But you'll never find it for sale And that's why we couldn't stay Would never let that feeling ever go away Kept a memory inside of us through every hour Through every day until we died It was with the company of those friends We drove on through the night Behind the wheel of armageddon
I've lost friends and family over time, as I guess happens when it does. This song is the sound track to my life. "this kind of dignity doesn't come easy, but you'll never find it for sale"
