  • Hey kid, where ya goin' with those brand new wheels you got?
    You think you're gonna last forever, forever says you're not
    Won't you take me down this gravel road and out a little ways
    Forget about this prison town, these goddamn summer days

    Ever since you went away, well, it's gotten bad 'round here
    Sometimes I wanna see it burn in my rear view mirror
    You're so lucky you made it out and you don't even know
    But I still see your car driving up and down County road
    County road
    County road

    I've got this joint, let's go get high and shoot a little dice
    I'll pour some gin, you can buy me in, oh, wouldn't that be nice?
    Ever since the storm came through, well, there's not much left to save
    Developers they bought your house, they're gonna tear it down in May

    Keep waking up from this nightmare dream, time cuts like a knife
    I wish I could have back what I didn't know were the best years of my life
    Maybe I'm lucky, I'm already dead and I don't even know
    But I still see your headlights runnin' through the trees out on County road
    County road

    Remember when we got drunk that time in Ontario
    Listening to Warren Zevon on the stereo
    I keep thinking 'bout that very last night when we went down to the bar
    And even though you're no longer here you'll never be that far

    Hey kid, you know it's been three years since the change
    The band broke up, the boys don't talk, and the city's rearranged
    No one's lucky and no one's saved and no one really knows
    Why it was you who had to go down like that out on County road
    County Road
    Why it was you
    Why it was you Writer/s: Jeremy Ivey, Margo Price
