North On 95 Lyrics - Beneath The Velvet Sun - Shawn Mullins

Headed north on 95 

I was feelin' very much alive 

And if I don't come back read a little Kerouac 

It would be good for you, yeah 

Now I'm stuck inside a line 

Tryin' to find a decent rhyme 

I loaded up my van and left the promised land 

For a different view and I'm still lookin' 

So tell me where did we go wrong 

And give me one more chance to prove you wrong 

I saw a monarch butterfly 

Spread its holy wings and fly 

Beneath the velvet sun 

I watched her come undone and then disappear 

So I got out my old guitar 

And I dug down really hard 

And then a voice inside said 

I gotta ask you why you're still comin' here 

And tell me where did we go wrong 

And give me one more chance to prove you wrong 

It's hard to say where love turns cold 

We never thought that we'd grow old 

We filled up fast and went down slow 

Enough to fake us out and make us fold 

Tell me where did we go wrong 

And give me one more chance to prove you wrong 

And tell me where did we go wrong 

And give me one more chance to prove you wrong
