The Backseat Lyrics - The '59 Sound - The Gaslight Anthem

In the back seats of burned out cars 

In the disenchantment lane 

The ideal angels twist and turn 

And ask forgiveness for future mistakes 

But you and I, we've been through this 

Maybe a hundred times before 

Always hitchin' rides with strangers 

That papa warned us about before 

But you know the summer always brought in 

That wild and reckless breeze 

And in the backseats we just tried to find 

Some room for our knees 

And in the backseats we just tried to find some room to breathe 

And in the backseats we just tried to find some room to breathe

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And in the wild desert sun 

We drove straight on through the night 

We rode the fever out of Austin 

Dreamed of California lights 

Come July, we'll ride the ferris wheel 

Go round and round and round 

And if you never let me go 

Well, I will never let you down 

And you know the summer always brought in 

All those wild and reckless breezes 

And in the backseats we just tried to find 

Some room for our knees 

And in the backseats we just tried to find some room to breathe 

And in the backseats we just tried to find some room to breathe 

And these cowboys all go crazy in the heat 

Chasin' the lights and all the girls along the Santa Ana streets 

They're just dyin' to meet 

It meant nothin' to me
