This Year
i broke free on a saturday morning i put the pedal to the floor iheaded north on mills avenue and listened to the engine roar
my broken house behind me and good things ahead a girl named cathy wants a little of my time six cylinders underneath the hood, crashing and kicking ah ha, listen to the engine whine
i am gonna make it through this year if it kills me i am gonna make it through this year if it kills me
i played video games in a drunken haze i was seventeen years young hurt my knuckles punching the machines the taste of scotch rich on my tongue
and then cathy showed up and we hung out trading swigs from a bottle all bitter and clean locking eyes, holding hands Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com twin high maintenance machines
and i am gonna make it through this year if it kills me i am gonna make it through this year if it kills me
i drove home in the california dusk i could feel the alcohol inside of me hum i pictured the look on my stepfather's face i was ready for the bad things to come
i downshifted as i pulled into the driveway the motor screaming out, stuck in second gear the scene ends badly, as you might imagine in a cavalcade of anger and fear
there will be feasting and dancing in jerusalem next year and i am gonna make it through this year if it kills me i am gonna make it through this year if it kills me
