lyrics

Not so long ago I grew up in the south
Suntanned and high on being young
But the carefree life doesn't last forever
Sweet air won't mask grey skies and I grew up

I let my heart grow cold and found a shell to hide
And learned to find my friends up in the sky
Wishing on a star that I could fly away
Find some quiet place to keep me warm at night

Oh 95, take me where this highway ends
Erase my memories and let me start again
Along the coast where my tears can feed the ocean
And snow will be my blanket when I'm cold
I thought I'd be alright if learned to live alone till I grew old

But the coldest sky is cloudless and blue
When you're all alone you speak the truth
Watching waves crash on the ocean, ships of friends weren't far behind
Flasks of laughter cured my heartache over time

Oh 95, take me where this highway ends
We'll make new memories in good company of friends
Along the coast, we'll watch ships sail on the ocean
From rocks carved with secrets never told
On your shores I thought I'd be alright till I grew old

In the spring I dreamt of dogwoods and pines
And couldn't shake the Southland from my mind
When I woke these shores looked different, like a mooring in a storm
And something called me from the shores where I was born

Oh 95, take me where this highway ends
We've made good memories in the company of friends
Along the coast, I'll cast my ship out on the ocean
From rocky shores that sheltered me from cold
I'll sail for home but I’ll remember you till I grow old
