We Used To Think The Freeway Sounded Like A River (Live)

We Used To Think The Freeway Sounded Like A River (Live) - Richmond Fontaine

Written by：Sean Oldham/Dave Harding/Willy Vlautin

There was an abandoned house we lived next to

With a broken pool that we'd sit next to

It was full of shopping carts and old car parts

We'd goof around like it was our pool

You'd laugh and set your toes into

We'd watch the sun go down over the overpass

Where endless miles of cars would pass

We'd listen to the crooners croon

And make drinks with a blender your mom gave to me and you

We came home one night and our door was open

Most of our things were gone or broken

All our clothes were thrown around the rooms

And even our pictures were wrecked too

And the overpass where the endless miles of cars would pass

It hummed night and day and night and day

We used to think it sounded like a river

But all that slipped away that day
