Lyrics
I remember everything lying here awake
I recall vividly all the details while lying awake.
Way off of the interstate down 848
Far from the main road on route 848.
The devil saw those idle hands
The devil noticed idle hands.
And he knew just what to do
The devil knew how to exploit the situation.
I could barely see the road ahead I only had eyes for you
Driving with eyes only for the person next to me, not the road ahead.
I disengaged and whispered in your ear
I withdrew and softly spoke to you.
This will be our year
Expressing optimism, stating that this year will be significant.
Hidin' in those piney woods
Hiding in the piney woods, growing up slowly.
We grew up nice and slow
Our upbringing was gradual and pleasant.
Fumblin' through the undergrowth
Moving clumsily through the undergrowth.
Where the moon is scared to go
In a place where even the moon fears to go.
But East Texas has a dark side
East Texas has a darker side.
And that darkness has a pull
This darkness has a magnetic force.
Vices make you hungry
Indulgences create a hunger that's insatiable.
And you never can get full
One can never be satisfied.
But we made it out now we're in the clear
We successfully navigated through challenges, and now things are clear.
This will be our year
Reiterating the belief that this year will be significant for us.
I remember everything like it was yesterday
I recall everything as if it happened yesterday.
Time will have its way
Time has its own course and impact.
Time will have its way
Time will assert itself.
I remember everything I wish I didn't though
I remember everything, even though I wish I didn't.
Why do you have to go don't you know
Expressing reluctance and sorrow about someone leaving.
This will be our year
Reiterating the hope that this year will be special for the speaker and the person addressed.
