Midwest Rock & Roll

July sun stays up till 10

We watched it set every night

12 weeks till it's gone again

Just like back when you were mine

I'm so damn freezing all year

That's why we make out in cars

60 degrees off the pier

Yeah, that made us who we are

One, two, three, four

I wrote your name in the snow

I'll always love what we were

Longing for something I know

Back when the world didn't hurt

You set your own heart on fire

When you grow up where it's cold

Darkness and teenage desire

Yeah, that's midwest rock & roll

Yeah, that's midwest rock & roll

Wanted to see the Black Keys

Closest they came was Chicago

Drove down and got drunk and screamed

All the words till our lungs broke

Things change and things stay the same

You moved on, I moved away

It's human nature to wonder

And think about if I stayed

But it don't work that way

I wrote your name in the snow

I'll always love what we were

Longing for something I know

Back when the world didn't hurt

You set your own heart on fire

When you grow up where it's cold

Darkness and teenage desire

Yeah, that's midwest rock & roll

Yeah, that's midwest rock & roll

We were young and we were living

We were right there, we were pippin'

Like a summer on lake Michigan

Your life keeps passing by

I wrote your name in the snow

I'll always love what we were

Longing for something I know

Back when the world didn't hurt

You set your own heart on fire

When you grow up where it's cold

Darkness and teenage desire

Yeah, that's midwest rock & roll

Yeah, that's midwest rock & roll
