Midwest Rock & Roll

July sun stays up till ten We watched it set every night 12 weeks til 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 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 and roll Yeah that's midwest rock and roll Wanted to see the black keys Closest they came was Chicago Drove down and got drunk and screamed All the words til 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 and roll We were young and we were living We were rodman we were pippen Like a summer on Lake Michigan Yeah 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 and roll
